Hotovely meets EU chief

Edit

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely meets with EU chief Federica Mogherini in her office in Jerusalem, and reassures her that Israel is committed to peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

Hotovely emphasizes that it was the Palestinians who abandoned the last round of peace talks, and for future negotiations to work, the Palestinians cannot take any unilateral steps.

She points to the car-ramming terror attack in Jerusalem earlier today, telling Mogherini that Europe must strongly condemn terror attacks and back Israel’s demand that the Palestinians recognize it as a Jewish state.
