Straw and Palacio denounce Israeli separation wall

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Spain's Foreign Minister Ana Palacio Monday expressed denunciation of Israeli separation wall in the West Bank. In statements to reporters on arrival at the European Council headquarters on Monday to attend the meeting of the EU's public affairs and Foreign Relations Council, Straw said the EU believes that the separation wall is illegal especially that it exceeds the internationally-recognized borders and the green line that separates between the Palestinian territories and Israel.
