"Today’s vote is a strong endorsement of the Palestinian democratic strategy to seek UN recognition for their state. This clear support of peaceful political means in seeking Palestinian independence strengthens President Abbas and, at the same time, weakens extremism in the region. Europe and our Member States must be consistent in how we respond to the legitimate democratic aspirations unleashed by the Arab Spring. Today’s vote reinforces the established EU policy of support for a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 frontier with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine living side by side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as capital of both states. Recognition of the Palestinian state does not in any way contradict the need for final status negotiations. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Netanyahu, while beseeching the Palestinians to resume peace talks, has effectively blocked a return to negotiations by approving the construction of over 1 100 new housing units in Israeli-occupied Palestinian East Jerusalem, which he knows President Abbas cannot accept."@en1
