via Israel News – The EU on Palestinian Unity: “We Welcome the New Government” – JerusalemOnline.
Following US commitments to continue cooperation with the Palestinian unity government, between Hamas and Fatah, the EU added its support this evening (Wednesday) to the unity. According to a statement released by the organization, the unity will afford new opportunities in peace negotiations.
“We welcome the unity government,” said the statement. “We welcome Abbu Mazen’s statement according to which the new government will be committed to a two state solution on the basis of 67’ boundaries. The relations between the EU and the new Palestinian government will be based on the new government’s adherence to these values.”
Tensions between the US and Israel continued to rise yesterday regarding the Palestinian unity government when deputy spokeswoman for the State Department, Marie Harf, emphasized that the American position is that “the Palestinian unity government is not supported by Hamas” and therefore the US will not change its position regarding the Palestinian unity government.
