EU expresses ‘unreserved solidarity’ with Israelis
The European Union’s ambassador to Israel, Lars Faaborg-Andersen, says the EU would like to “express its unreserved solidarity with citizens of Israel.”
Speaking at a conference on peace talks organized by Haaretz, the ambassador says that “indiscriminate shooting of rockets against civilians can never be a legitimate response, no matter what your grievances.”
