Britain and Germany rejected a draft EU statement Tuesday calling for an immediate cease-fire in the fighting between Israel and Hizbullah, diplomats said.
Britain "can't accept" the draft under any circumstances, a senior British official said.
The two nations, at emergency EU foreign ministers' talks, offered an alternative draft calling for an eventual "cessation of hostilities" - with no time frame given.
We are truly living in an historic time with sides being chosen. Some out of common cause, others out of necessity. I believe the next 2 weeks will be of great importance. The Iranians await 8-22 with the same nervous, anticipation of a child awaiting Christmas. Will the wished for gift be received?
