There is a risk that this statement may lead to strong reactions and greater instability in an already turbulent region, and have long-term strategic consequences for the peace process.<\/p>\n<p>The EU has clearly stated its view of Jerusalem as a separate entity and as a future capital for two states. EU foreign ministers have emphasised that the EU has never recognised Israel&#8217;s annexation of East Jerusalem and that achieving a lasting peace requires resolving the status of Jerusalem through negotiations. The US statement does not affect the position of the EU and Sweden concerning Jerusalem&#8217;s special status. It is of the utmost importance that all states respect and safeguard this status.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#8217;s long-standing commitment to a two-state solution remains. We are working to ensure that Israel and Palestine can live side by side in peace and security. All final status issues, including Jerusalem&#8217;s status as a future capital for both states, must be resolved through negotiations between the parties and not through unilateral action by the parties or others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"contentfooter\">\n<div class=\"date-publ-updated\">\n<p><span class=\"published\">Published\u00a006 December 2017<\/span>\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0<span class=\"updated\">Updated\u00a006 December 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government deeply regrets the US statement about Jerusalem.
