EU envoy ‘despairs’ over stuck peace process

The EU’s envoy to Israel, Lars Faaborg Andersen, participated in “Europe Day” at the University of Haifa and said that there was “increasing despair” among EU member states over the lack of progress in diplomacy with the Palestinians.

Andersen stressed that it was obvious that responsibility for reaching an agreement lay not only at Israel’s door but also at the Palestinians’, but added that the EU could not accept steps that turn the clock backwards, especially construction in the settlements.
