JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Wednesday in Jerusalem renewed his commitment to a two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He said during his meeting with Federica Mogherini, EU Foreign Policy Chief on her first visit to the region, and a week after his new government took office, that there was need for peace that would end the conflict once and for all.
“I don’t support a one-state solution, I don’t believe that’s a solution at all, I support the vision of two states for two peoples.
Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s longstanding demand that any Palestinian state established on the land Israel captured in a 1967 war should be demilitarised.

He expressed the hope to discuss with Mogherini how they could advance the peaceful vision forward.
Mogherini told Netanyahu that she wanted to discuss opportunities to re-launch the peace process with Isreal.
Mogherini had earlier told Palestinian leaders at a meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, that Europe was committed to getting talks restarted.
