EU Threatens to Recognize Independent Palestine
http://news.antiwar.com/2010/12/13/eu-threatens-to-recognize-independent-palestine/
Faced with a formal request from the Palestinian Authority and citing growing frustration with the Israeli settlement expansions, the European Union is warning today that it is on the verge of recognizing an independent Palestine along the 1967 borders.
The move would follow high profile recognitions by Brazil and Argentina last week, though the warning was watered down significantly, reportedly after Israeli demands that Britain move against the proposal as it was initially written.
