The court said it was nevertheless maintaining the effects of the measures in order to ensure that any possible future freezing of funds would be effective.http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/EU-Decision-on-removal-of-Hamas-from-terror-list-is-legal-not-political-384932 For the second time in three months, Israel has failed in tests of the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system.
