Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said he first will push for a new EU initiative to bring Israel and the Palestinian authorities back to the negotiating table to reinvigorate the peace process.
Belgian legislators are completing work on a text and it was still unclear when the resolution would be tabled, said an official from a leading coalition party, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process was continuing.
On Tuesday, France’s lower house already voted to urge the government to recognize a Palestinian state. On Oct. 30, Sweden became the first western European nation to recognize Palestinian statehood.
It amazes me as so many countries make as it if it is possible to achieve peace in the area, and that the palestinians and arabs are not interested in destroying Israel. Very simple, Eisov Sone es Israel – this looks so clear here. That’s the only explanation. I don’t think they are so naive.
