18 September 2009

Presidency Statement on the Arab-Israeli conflict
www.se2009.eu/en/meetings_news/2009/9/18/presidency_statement_on_the_arab-israeli_conflict

The European Union remains committed to a comprehensive settlement of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. We strongly support the United States' vigorous
pursuit of a two state-solution and call on the parties to fully engage in
resumed negotiations to create a viable Palestinian state on the basis of
the June 1967 borders, living side by side in peace and security with the
State of Israel.

We urge Israel to immediately end all settlement activities, including in
East Jerusalem. We urge the Palestinian Authority to continue in its efforts
to improve security and the rule of law, building on the achievements
reached so far. The EU urges all donors to deliver on past commitments and
to enhance their efforts to assist the PA in a spirit of equitable burden
sharing. We reiterate the urgency of a durable solution to the Gaza crisis
and call for the immediate and unconditional opening of crossings for the
flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from Gaza.

Underlining the importance of the Arab Peace Initiative, the EU invites
Israel and all Arab countries to take confidence building measures to create
an atmosphere conducive to conflict resolution. The EU stands ready to use
all instruments at its disposal in order to support comprehensive peace in
the Middle East, including a lasting settlement for the conflicts between
Israel and Syria and between Israel and Lebanon.
