I believe that Hamas recent progress in the arena of confronting violence with violence is among the main reasons the EU, and a number of European countries called for a serious examination of the long awaited for acknowledgement of the Palestinian hard earned state.
This in turn moved Israel to issues directives to its ambassadors in the white continent to exert further efforts in order to abort the new trending approach towards the Palestinian initiative, especially after the British, and Swedish votes, and the tendency in Ireland, France, Belgium, and Italy towards acknowledging the Palestinian state.
It seems that Israel is obviously reluctant about Europe’s acknowledgment of the Palestinian state, a state that is to observer 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital .
This European approach appears to trigger Israel’s fears as confirmed by the Israeli labor opposition party leader, who recently mentioned that cold winds are engulfing Israel from all sides.
Cold winds that will turn into a lovely spring breeze once they hit the soon to be acknowledged Palestine.
Undoubtedly, there are European pressures on Israel, and the USA to acknowledge the Palestinian state, as there are numerous storms, and Palestinian triumphs struggling to stand up to Israel… This seems obvious, as the EU parliament stands close to acknowledging the newly aspired  for Palestinians state .
