EU foreign affairs chief looking forward to new peace talks

EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini sends a message of congratulations to Netanyahu, saying she looks forward to working with the incoming Israeli government on the “re-launch of the peace process.”

“The EU staunchly supports a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in the interest of the Israeli people, of the Palestinian people and of the whole region. We are at your side, you can count on us,” she says.

“More than ever, bold leadership is required from all to reach a comprehensive, stable and viable settlement of a conflict that has already deprived too many generations of peace and security. It’s time to turn this page and I’m confident that we can work together with the international community for a solution that will guarantee peace and security in the Middle East.”
