EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said Israel had a "legitimate right to self-defense in the face of terrorist attacks." But, he added, "The wall not only results in confiscation of Palestinian land and causes untold humanitarian and economic hardship, but also could prejudge future negotiations and hinder a just political solution to the conflict." The EU's stance contrasts sharply with that of the White House, which brushed aside the judgment Friday, saying it did not think the U.N. court was the right forum to decide on the issue. The American representative on the court was also the only judge to oppose the ruling, which called on Israel to tear down the wall and offer compensation to Palestinians.
