Nick Clegg sugli insediamenti israeliani

Secondo il vice premier britannico gli insediamenti israeliani costituiscono un atto di vandalismo deliberato.

There is ample justification for his remarks in two recent internal EU reports covered in this newspaper. The latest, disclosed today, warns that Israel's actions are making the idea of Jerusalem as a shared capital - which the EU rightly regards as a sine qua non of a two-state solution - "increasingly unlikely and unworkable". The continued growth of settlements already housing 500,000 Israelis in occupied territory - almost 200,000 of them in East Jerusalem - is not the only such action, but is the biggest obstacle to successful negotiations.
