New York Times – LONDON — Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that he had asked the European Union to suspend its new restrictions on financial assistance to Israeli institutions in order to show the Israeli public the benefit of pursuing a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
“I think it’s important that the Israeli people and the government see that coming to the talks, taking the risk of moving toward peace is worthwhile,” Mr. Kerry said.
