Israel, Jerusalem// corr. Trend R. Abdullayayev/ The Prime Minister of Israel met with Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany on 11 February. The Israeli leader attempted to gain the support of the German Government to hold a large-scale anti-terror operation in Gaza, NEWSRU reports.
The European Union has been showing less support for the Israeli policy concerning Gaza recently. The Israeli Government obsessed with the idea of holding operations to put an end to the rockets fired to West Negava, believes that it is important to hold a campaign in Europe to tell the European countries, starting with Germany, of the aim of the operations, Ynet said.
