EU will not halt dialogue with Israel, says Poland

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski announced that European Union foreign ministers did not reach an agreement to suspend political dialogue with Israel during their meeting.

The meeting came after EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell proposed the measure.

“We know that there are tragic events in Gaza, huge civilian casualties, but we do not forget who started the current cycle of violence,” Sikorski said in Brussels. “And I can tell you that there was no agreement on the idea of suspending negotiations with Israel.”
