STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Statement by High Representative\/Vice-President Federica Mogherini on the situation in Israel and Palestine<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Recent steps taken by Palestinians and Israelis could aggravate the already tense situation on the ground and bring them further away from a negotiated solution. Both sides should refrain from taking actions which could raise obstacles to the rapid return to the negotiations.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The decision of the Israeli government to halt the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority runs counter to Israel's obligations under the <\/span>Paris Protocol<\/a>. An effective Palestinian Authority, committed to non-violence and a peaceful resolution of the conflict, is a key element for a two-State solution.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In this regard, the EU is providing considerable support, including financial assistance, to ensure the building of the institutions and infrastructure of a future Palestinian State. These achievements should not be put at risk by not meeting obligations regarding the timely and transparent transfer of tax and custom revenues.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The European Union will promote and support now more than ever efforts to achieve a lasting peace based on a two-state solution, including through the Middle East Quartet.<\/p><\/div>\n
