EU's Solana: UN should recognize Palestinian state

EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana has said that he wants the UN to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank to put pressure on Israel if it cannot strike a peace with the Palestinians.

 

Solana's spokeswoman Cristina Gallach said Monday that his weekend speech in London was meant to add to international efforts to put "maximum pressure" on both sides to get back to peace talks. She said his comments were made in a personal capacity and did not represent a shift in policy among European Union member states. (AP)
