Report: Hungary gagged EU on Israeli settlers
By EUobserver
Hungary vetoed a joint statement by the 28 EU countries, to have been issued on Monday, criticising a US announcement that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were not illegal, The Times of Israel, an Israeli newspaper, reported. The EU statement was instead published at a lower level, in the name of EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini only, while France and Germany published national statements after the debacle.
