The European Union urged Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday to craft a government that embraces the long-standing goal of an independent Palestinian state living side by side with Israel.Solana is one of the most disgusting people in the EU, who led to a lot of the current problems. And any "urging" they do here is merely an attempt to dictate to another country how to run its business.
The prospect of a new hawkish government, with Israel Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman as a possible foreign minister, will be seen in Europe as a setback to the Middle East peace process.
"Let me say very clearly that the way the European Union will relate to an [Israeli] government that is not committed to a two-state solution will be very, very different," said Javier Solana, the EU's foreign and security affairs chief.
US, European and moderate Arab officials have largely remained silent about the possibility of Lieberman becoming Israel's top diplomat. But as Netanyahu is in the final stages of crafting a coalition government based on the Feb. 10 election outcome that prospect could become a reality this week.
Solana and other EU officials met with the foreign ministers of Egypt and the Palestinian authority to discuss the formation of a Palestinian unity government - bringing the rival Hamas and Fatah factions under one roof - and rebuilding the Gaza Strip after Israel's recent offensive.
Here's some more on this over here.

Hamas is the elected government and we have to negotiate with them but on the other hand Lieberman is a right-winger who should be excluded. Or else.
I'm not sure what Solana is drinking but I'd like to try some.

It appears the EU leadership is concerned . . .still no constitution and conservatives are gaining support . . .
UK's clout in EU will fall under Tories
Britain will lose influence in Europe if the Conservatives win the general election, the president of the European Commission has warned.
I think Mr Cameron is right; siding with EU and respect their rules while France, Germany etc don't, didn't proved too beneficial for Britain. For example a migrant worker in Germany or France is (as it should be) to speak the native language, but let's be honest how many migrants speak French or German or Greek as opposed to English.
Sometimes having open borders and pretending to be multicultural integrist can lead to unpleasant surprises.
