Israel 'Perplexed' By EU Solana's Meeting With Hezbollah MP
14 June 2009
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said on Sunday that Israel is “perplexed” by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana's unprecedented meeting with an official from Hezbollah. "This meeting left us perplexed, and we dare hope that Solana took advantage of the meeting to press for a disarming of Hezbollah and for the end of the arms smuggling between Syria and Hezbollah," he said. Solana held talks with Hezbollah MP Hussein Hajj Hassan on Saturday during a Beirut visit to reaffirm Europe's support for Lebanon after the June 7 parliamentary polls. "Lists of terrorist groups are not the same in every country," Solana told a news conference when asked about the “U.S. blacklist” of the Islamic resistance. "Hezbollah is a member of the Lebanese society and it is represented in the Lebanese parliament and it will bear responsibilities," he said before leaving for Egypt at the end of a two-day visit. For his part, Hajj Hasan said after the meeting that it was not the first encounter with EU officials but the first at the level of EU foreign policy chief. The meeting "means more EU overture towards Hezbollah, and one at a higher level," Hajj Hassan said. “This also means better communication for the European Union with the region and its parties," he said, adding that this will move the EU towards more realism.
