(VOVworld) - A representative of the Israeli government has met ambassadors of the UK, France, and vice chief of German Embassy in the country to express worries about the EU’s ban over its members to make transactions with entities in Jewish resettlement areas.Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision saying that the EU should focus on the Syria crisis and Iran’s nuclear program instead of Israel’s policy on settlement.Netanyahu also warmed US Secretary of State John Kerry who is on a tour of the Middle East that the EU is destroying the efforts to begin direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine.
