EU/French Foreign Ministry paper "worries" Israel ...

And the wise man said: 'Let Them Be Worried....forever'.....Ravid in Haaretz, here
"...Inter alia, it calls for increased pressure on Israel to reopen Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem, including Orient House, which formerly served as the Palestinian Authority's headquarters in the city....
....its proposals are liable to result in a clash with whatever new government Israelis elect in February, whether headed by Tzipi Livni or Benjamin Netanyahu....
"...A key part of building the Palestinian state involves resolving the status of Jerusalem, as the future capital of two states," Therefore, "the EU will work actively towards the re-opening of the Palestinian institutions, including the Orient House."
.... it notes, the EU "expects a complete freeze of all settlement activities including natural growth, including in East Jerusalem .."
