The Israelis worked hard to persuade even one of the 28 European Union (EU) member states to refuse criticism of their settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Only Greece was holding-out on its endorsement of the resolution but the Greeks finally agreed, allowing a unanimous adoption of the tough criticism. The resolution emphasised that EU agreements with Israel applied only to the State of Israel within the pre-1967 border, adding that the "EU must unequivocally and explicitly indicate their inapplicability to the territories occupied by Israel in 1967."

The Zionists actually believe there is a possibility that EU states will eventually consider the illegal settlements and annexed East Jerusalem as part of Israel. They do have some neck and seem incapable of realizing how, with the exception of the USA, Israel is isolated from the rest of the world. France, Ireland and Sweden are said to have pushed for the adoption of the resolution and the rest of the EU states were persuaded to show their concern about the Israelis.
