(IsraelNN.com) Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Voice of Israel government radio Monday morning that Israel should apply to be a member of the European Union (EU). He explained that the alliance, along with an affiliation with NATO, is a way to face growing Muslim terrorism.
The government previously has been fearful of becoming part of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) because Israel might lose its military independence, a fear that Minister Lieberman rejected.
