Germany urges confidence-building measures to restart Israeli-Palestinian talks
Germany calls for confidence-building measures, including from the Palestinians, to reinvigorate the moribund Middle East peace process.
Hosting his Palestinian counterpart Riyad al-Maliki in Berlin, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas discussed ways to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table.
“In order to make new negotiations possible, the German Government believes that confidence-building measures and constructive proposals are needed — including from the Palestinian side,” according to a readout issued by the German Foreign Ministry.
“Germany also remains convinced that a negotiated two-state solution will do justice both to Palestinians’ rights and Israel’s security interests.”
