A confidential report by the European Union warned of what it described as a “significant acceleration” of “Israeli” pressure on Jerusalem and an attempt to change the demographic reality there.

The report, a copy of which was obtained by the Spanish newspaper El Pais, indicated that the European Union countries must “unequivocally” oppose unilateral plans aimed at changing the status and borders of Jerusalem.

The report added that the Israeli occupation has greatly accelerated the pressure on Palestinian citizens in the past year.

The newspaper explained that this was one of the messages that the diplomatic representatives in East Jerusalem and Ramallah of almost all member states of the European Union, in addition to the EU delegate there, conveyed to the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in Brussels in a confidential report.
