I very much hope that common sense and intelligence will prevail and an agreement will be reached in the coming days,
EU foreign ministers agreed on Monday that member states will be producing a report on East Jerusalem that will be ready for the December 12 (foreign affairs) council meeting. This is not the final document. Work is still ongoing,
I don't agree with that decision because I don't think by Saturday we will have a new (Palestinian) government.
I have been working very hard with your leaders and they have been working very hard to reach an agreement, ... grand government coalition.
We are looking with interest at that proposal. It is a proposal in which enrichment would be done outside, in Russia, but at the moment no agreement has been reached between Russia and Iran.
The peace agreement must be seen as a matter of urgency.
A new agreement will make it much easier for us to realize the full potential of our partnership and will be a strong signal of our mutual commitment to deepening our relationship.
The wealth of agreements we will be signing together on September 5 bears witness to the increasing levels of practical cooperation.
This announcement is very bad news, but the timing of action by the international community remains that agreed by the UN Security Council.
I think we can say that the parties have agreed on the document on police.
If that agreement is not implemented by force on the ground, it will not be effective.
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.
We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
