Ashrawi: Europe Must Intervene to End Occupation

Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA

RAMALLAH, January 9, 2012 (WAFA) - PLO Executive Committee member and Palestinian lawmaker, Hanan Ashrawi, Monday called upon Europe to play an effective and distinctive role to end the Israeli occupation in light of the difficult political void, particularly when the US is preoccupied with the presidency elections and is fully bias with Israel.

In a meeting with the Irish representative to PA, James Carroll and Gert Cox Belgian Consul General in Ramallah, Ashrawi said that the meetings in Jordan between the Palestinian and Israeli negotiators are not considered negotiations and that the PLO is still committed to its stance toward the negotiation process.

She described the current situation as 'dangerous' and said, “Israel is dragging the region into the abyss…there is an urgent need for Europe to promptly move to end the occupation.”
