EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the situation surrounding Israeli-Palestinian peace talks is “extremely fragile.”
“The situation is extremely fragile. The speech in Ramallah yesterday shows how fragile it is. I would hope that this will not halt the process further, when we should be looking all together for ways to take it forward,” she says.
She is referring to a speech by PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ speech in which he called US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman a “son of a dog.”
Mogherini also stresses that a future Palestinian state must include Gaza.
“We see it very clearly: the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza belong together. There is no State of Palestine without Gaza, nor with Gaza alone. This is why we expect all Palestinian factions to… continue on the path of reconciliation, with courage and determination,” she says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
