With Pence in Jerusalem, EU reaffirms support for Palestinian state, UNRWA
European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini reaffirms “firm” EU support for a Palestinian state and for the UN Agency tasked with providing aid for millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
Mogherini tells PA President Abbas in Brussels of the EU’s “firm commitment to the two-state solution with Jerusalem as shared capital of the two states: the state of Israel and the state of Palestine.
This is not the time to disengage,” she says.
“The EU and its member states are collectively by far the largest donor, the largest supporter for the Palestinians. And our support will continue, including to UNRWA,” Mogherini adds.
