EU seeks more active role in Mideast conflict
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe EU would like to take a more active role in advancing peace between Israel and the Palestinians on the basis of the two-state solution, Reuters quoted the union’s foreign policy czar Federica Mogherini as saying.
It is clear to everyone in the region, Mogherini is quoted, that the status quo is not viable.
Mogherini has been in the role for six months, taking over from Catherine Ashton. She has already announced her intention to make the European Union Israel’s largest trade partner and the main donor to the Palestinians. She is scheduled to arrive in the region this week, to visit Ramallah and on Sunday to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
