"On the occasion of the 66th sitting of the General Assembly of the United Nations, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas requested the recognition of Palestinian statehood and membership of the UN. At an informal meeting on 2 and 3 September, however, during a discussion on the Middle East peace process, EU Member State foreign affairs ministers presented varying – not unified – positions and diplomatic initiatives concerning the Palestinian Authority’s application for UN membership. The position of Jerusalem is an equally sensitive issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians have an inalienable right to self-determination and their own state, and the right of Israel to exist within secure borders is also beyond question. The achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, particularly between the Israelis and Palestinians, is of enormous importance. Both parties should therefore resume direct negotiations without delay in an effort to achieve a comprehensive agreement based on the existence of two democratic, sovereign and viable states, enabling their inhabitants to live within the framework of secure and internationally recognised borders, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council."@en1
