Israel settlements destroying two-state solution, says EU
By EUobserver
The EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini told MEPs in Strasbourg that Israeli settlements are eroding any prospect of a two-state solution with the Palestinians. She noted that Israeli authorities last week had given the green light for another 4,600 housing units. "The two-state solution is not only fading away, it is being dismantled piece by piece," she said.
