Mogherini urges Netanyahu, Abbas to meet Quartet ‘in days’

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini urges Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authgority President Mahmuud Abbas to meet Quartet representatives “within days” in the hope of kick-starting stalled peace talks.

“I have asked both Netanyahu and Abbas to receive the Quartet envoys in the coming days, not weeks,” Mogherini says, stressing the need for speed if an upsurge in violence between Israelis and Palestinians is not to spiral out of control.

The Quartet comprises the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia and was set up in 2002 to promote the Middle East peace process.
