My Way News - EU urges Israel to resume talks with Palestinians
My Way News reports: "The EU told Israel on Tuesday that growing instability in the Middle East makes it imperative to resume the stalled peace process with the Palestinians. Israel agreed that direct peace talks should resume, but said the pro-democracy unrest in Arab nations such as Libya, Egypt and Tunisia is unrelated to the Israel-Palestinian situation [...] The 27-nation EU has repeatedly condemned as illegal the building of Israeli settlements in occupied territory, especially in the eastern parts of Jerusalem. Last week, all four EU members of the U.N. Security Council - France, Britain, Portugal and Germany - backed a Palestinian resolution denouncing the settlements as illegal. Washington vetoed the measure."

This from AP Mar. 26,2011: Obama and Palestinians planning to bypass negotiations with Israel and instead take it to the U.N. General Assembly in September 2011. Using UN Resolution 377, the General Assembly can recommend the use of force to impose the creation of a Palestinian state with pre-1967 boundaries without Israel's agreement. Mubarak wanted to complete his term in September, then hold elections. But Obama said no, that he had to step down now. Perhaps regime change in all these countries is to depose Israel-friendly leaders and replace them with anti-Israel leaders to stack the vote in Palestinians' favor at annual UN meeting of world leaders in 09/11.
