EU Ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen threatened Israel Monday over the outcome of peace talks.
"There is a risk that you will face increasing isolation [if talks fail]," Faaborg-Andersen said, in a statement to Channel 2. "Not necessarily as a result of European Union policy, but Israel has to realize that economic relations are established by private economic actors - be it consumers, be it companies - and we, as a government, has no influence on the private decisions that private citizens and companies are making."
Faaborg-Andersen's comments came just days after US Secretary of State John Kerry warned Israel of similar consequences if peace talks fail, in remarks widely perceived as a threat against Israel.
"Today’s status quo absolutely, to a certainty, I promise you 100 percent, cannot be maintained," Kerry stated Saturday, at the Munich Security Conference. "It’s not sustainable. It’s illusionary. You see for Israel there’s an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up [. . .] there are talk of boycotts and other kinds of things. Are we all going to be better with all of that?"
