Katsav says Israel wants to join EU
BERLIN
Israeli President Moshe Katsav is firmly in favor of his country joining the European Union, he said in an interview in the March 11 edition of Bild newspaper.
"I would like Israel to be a member of the European Union," Katsav told Bild am Sonntag.
"We are a democratic state and we are economically and technologically at the European level. I hope there will be no resistance to our membership," he added
Katsav said Israel was "ready to make painful compromises" in order to reach peace with the Palestinians. "But one must realize that Israel has not been in such danger as it is today for nearly 30 years."
I can't decide whether this is irony or not.
