The EU delivered a strong warning to Israel, stating that its so-called "security barrier must not invade" Palestinian territory, at the conclusion of a two-day EU-Mediterranean summit, held in Italy.
While Israel's "fundamental" security needs were deemed obvious, "the route of the wall must not invade Palestinian territory," Foreign Minister Franco Frattini of EU president Italy told a final news conference.
"We have repeated that frankly and many times to our Israeli friends," added Frattini. (Albawaba.com)
