The Israeli foreign ministry
said Thursday that EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs
Federica Mogherini "leaves us perplexed" by reiterating the EU
stance on Jerusalem's status after the US recognised it as
Israel's capital. "The insistence that Jerusalem is not the
capital of Israel is the denial," ministry spokesman Emmanuel
Nahshon said, "of an undeniable historic fact." He said that
"every denial of this simple truth pushed peace farther away by
creating expectations in the Palestinians which are outside
reality".
