European Union foreign policy czar Javier Solana arrived in the Middle East Monday in his latest bid to reduce tension between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs after a week of spiraling violence.

Eight Arabs were reportedly killed Sunday evening as Israel continued efforts to stop the firing of Kassam rockets from Gaza at civilians in southern Israel.

Dozens of missiles have fallen on and around the Negev town of Sderot in the past week, injuring Israelis and damaging buildings – including a school classroom, kindergarten and petrol station.

Solana, whose “solution” to the decades’ old conflict sees Israel surrendering more Jewish lands to Arab control, plans to visit Jerusalem, areas Israel has given to the “Palestinians,” Egypt – which is also able to exert pressure on Israel, and Lebanon.

According to a statement from his office, Solana will let Israel know that the EU backs the Arab League’s “peace” plan.

He will tell the Arabs in Samaria, Judea and Gaza that it is important for them to stop fighting among themselves so that they can get a “State of Palestine” as soon as possible.

And he will likely convey to the Israeli government Europe’s displeasure at the IDF’s defensive actions against the terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
