EU meeting to weigh measures to counter US peace plan

Monday 17-February-2020

The European Union (EU) foreign ministers are expected to state their position on the US peace plan known informally as the deal of the century during a meeting in Brussels on Monday amid Israeli attempts to thwart a European decision against the deal.

According to Haaretz website the EU foreign ministers will discuss the US administration’s peace plan and any proposals for measures to be taken in this regard.

Israeli ambassadors in Europe worked over the past week to pressure European officials to refrain from opposing the US plan or adopt strict actions in response to US-backed Israeli annexation and settlement intents.

However Haaretz said it is not clear if the European Union will take steps against the plan or only state its rejection.
