Defense Minister Ehud Barak met Tuesday with European Union Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana. The meeting, which lasted an hour, was conducted for the most part in private.
At the beginning of the meeting, Barak said that "we are glad to host Mr. Solana and his groups, as we discuss a number of issues with the European Union, including, of course, the political situation. Our intent is to move forward in the process with the Palestinians," he said.
