Israeli
Foreign Minister Considers EU Membership
The freshly appointed Israeli Foreign
Minister, Silvan Shalom, is considering Israel's EU credentials, reports Israeli
daily, Ha’aretz.
"In principle, the minister thinks a possibility exists for Israel to join
the EU, since Israel and Europe share similar economies and democratic
values," said a spokesperson for Mr Shalom before adding, "it doesn't
mean he is preparing the dossier for applying tomorrow".
MEP, Marco Pannella, of the Transnational Radical Party is said to be heading
the campaign for Israeli membership and claimed on Tuesday that Israel does not
exclude submitting an application for full membership during the term of this
government.

This article was sent to me from one of my readers. This is something that I brought to you about seven months ago as a possibility. Here is the article I wrote back on November 14, 2002.
Article# 128: Netanyahu Would Seek E.U. Candidacy If Elected.
Look at both of these articles. I really think there is some validity to what is happening between the E.U. and Israel.
