Against this background, the EU’s unexpected stand is notable, not only for its technical features, but also for its practical and symbolic implications. In all future agreements with the EU or any of its member states, Israel’s government will have to acknowledge explicitly that territories beyond the pre-1967 borders are not part of Israel.
基于这一背景，欧盟出人意料的立场值得关注，不仅是因为其技术上的特点，也是因为其务实性和象征性。在以色列政府与欧盟或其任意成员国达成的未来协议中，前者都必须明确承认1967年前边界之外的领土都不是以色列的一部分。
