European Union reaffirms support for two-state solution (Extra)

New York - The European Union reaffirmed on Wednesday strong support for a two-state solution to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, with the establishment of a Palestinian state that is independent and democratic existing next to Israel. 'If there would be a genuine peace, a way must be found to share Jerusalem as the future capital of the two states,' said Swedish Ambassador to the UN Anders Liden, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency. 'The EU will not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders and those agreed by both parties,' he said. Liden called on both sides in the conflict in the Middle East to respect international human rights law and investigate all allegations of violations. The two-state solution is part of the road map for peace in the Middle East proposed by the UN, the EU, the United States and Russia, which called for a Palestinian state living in peace next to Israel. Liden was addressing the UN General Assembly's debate on a controversial investigative report on fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip earlier this year. The report drawn up by a four-member commission headed by South African Judge Richard Goldstone accused both sides of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
