Melech 9,900 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sweden's new government officially recognized a Palestinian state on Oct. 30. This week, Spain's Parliament approved a non-binding resolution recognizing a Palestinian state, following similar motions in Britain and Ireland. Germany, Israel's closest European ally, has made clear it won't follow that lead. Merkel said Friday that Berlin supports a two-state solution and "we see how difficult that is, so we also believe that unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state won't move us forward" toward that goal. She said it's better to focus squarely on getting Israeli-Palestinian talks going although "that appears very difficult in the current conditions." http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/merkel-palestinian-recognition-path-27079565 Slay Merkel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
