Thousands of peace activists and members of left-wing parties
demonstrate outside a museum in Tel Aviv on February 9, 2002, to call
on Israel to stop its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip where
a Palestinian uprising has been raging for 17 months since peace
negotiations ground to a halt. In Spain, a rift between the European
Union and Washington on Middle East policy grew when European Union
foreign ministers said after a two-day meeting there should be less
stress on security and more on political aspects of the conflict.
