European Leaders Call for Pressuring Israel to Negotiate With Palestinian Authority
by News Editor
Ynet – As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu works toward the swearing in of his fourth government, a letter was uncovered by Ynet on Wednesday morning, sent by former European officials to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Federica Mogherini, the EU foreign minister, saying that Netanyahu’s re-election demands a new policy – one that would focus on forcing Israel to the negotiating table with the Palestinian Authority.
“We have for some time regarded the Oslo-Madrid process as effectively defunct,” wrote the officials who included Spain’s previous Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos, former NATO Secretary General Javier Solana, former French Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine, former Prime Minister of Holland Dries van Agt, former Prime Minister of Ireland John Bruton, and others.
