BRUSSELS, The European Union stressed yesterday its commitment to a negotiated two-state solution as the best way to ensure a just and lasting peace, security and prosperity for both Palestine and Israel.

EU High Representative Josep Borrell said in a statement, “The EU reaffirms its commitment to a just and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the two-state solution.”

He said this solution should lead to the creation of “an independent, democratic, contiguous, sovereign, and viable State of Palestine, living side by side [with Israel] in peace and security and mutual recognition.”
