The European Union (EU) on Friday condemned a recent Israeli parliament resolution opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state, stressing that a two-state solution remains the only viable path to peace and security in the Middle East.
“There is a strong consensus in the international community that the only sustainable solution that will bring peace and security to the Middle East is a two-state solution,” the bloc said in a statement.
The EU reaffirms its commitment to achieving lasting peace through a two-state solution, as outlined in UN Security Council resolutions 2735, 2728, 2720 and 2712, ensuring that both Palestinians and Israelis can live in security and dignity, the statement said.
The bloc maintains its position that it does not recognize the 1967 border changes unless both sides agree.
“We will continue to work actively with international and regional partners to revive the political process to that end. A credible path to Palestinian statehood is a key component of that political process. No hope, no horizon for the Palestinian people will only deepen the conflict,” it said.
