Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEU President Donald Tusk has canceled a trip to Israel and the West Bank this week because talks on a Brexit deal are in a “critical” phase, his spokesman says.
“Due to a critical moment in the Brexit talks and due to consultations on draft guidelines for the second phase,” the trip from Tuesday to Wednesday has been called off, Tusk’s spokesman Preben Aamann tells AFP.
Tusk had been due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday night, and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in Ramallah on Wednesday, according to his official schedule published last week.
