"As you know, the European Union strongly supports the resumption of direct talks. Yesterday, the Foreign Affairs Council expressed the European position, regretting that Israel was not able to accept a new freeze of settlements as requested by the European Union, the United States and the Quartet.
I would add that the situation is disappointing, particularly because creating the necessary conditions for a two-state solution is not only in the interests of Palestine, the region and the international community at large, but also, I believe, in the interests of Israel itself.
Concerning negotiations, the Foreign Affairs Council also agreed yesterday on intensifying coordination with the Quartet and the United States. Special envoy Senator Mitchell will shortly meet Catherine Ashton to debrief her on the current state of affairs. The European Union will convey its full support for the peace process and its full engagement in the region. I believe the Quartet could be revitalised, with the European Union working very closely with the US.
High Representative Ashton has been in touch with key players in the region, and we are also looking forward to the Arab League meeting this week. We need to give negotiations a new chance, a new impetus, because stalemate should not be an option. I am convinced that the way forward will be found with the United States."@en1
