Fresh off of giving the opening address at the annual Bilderberg Group’s meeting, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, whose country currently holds the European Union’s rotating presidency, is calling for the EU to adopt a “strong, joint EU position” on Gaza and Israel’s blockade of it.
The following is an excerpt from an EUBusiness.com article on the topic:
Zapatero said his foreign minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos, would propose to his EU colleagues at a meeting on Monday that the 27-nation bloc “clearly declare itself in favour of ending the blockade of the Gaza Strip.”
Moratinos said in a television interview this week that the ministers would discuss “a plan for lifting the blockade” in order to “ensure the entry” of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and people.
