Only a negotiated two-state solution that is acceptable to both parties can lead to a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas yesterday.
“It is on this basis that any idea aiming to inject new momentum into the Middle East Peace Process, which has been stalled for too long, is to be welcomed,” he said in reaction to the American so-called peace plan proposed yesterday by US President Donald Trump.
“The US proposal raises questions that we will now discuss with our partners in the European Union. This includes questions concerning the involvement of the conflict parties in any negotiation process and how the proposal relates to internationally agreed parameters and legal positions.,” added Maas.
