"Yet we do not have a clear position on the
independence of Palestine, but the EU has the experience of Kosovo,
which we plan to introduce in this case," the head of the EU office in Israel
Andrew Standley told journalists in Tel
Aviv on April 12.
Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority Salam Fayyad said last week that
in 2011 the "world will witness the birth of an independent Palestinian
state".
Israel, as always, rejected these statements and believes that a Palestinian
state can be created only within the "roadmap", which envisages a solution to
the problem of two states – Palestine and Israel.
Kosovo, an autonomous
province in Serbia, mostly populated by Albanians, in February 2008 declared itself an independent
republic with its capital in Pristina. Official Belgrade authorities have not recognized
the unilateral proclamation of Kosovo, while most European countries, as well as
the U.S. supported it. In February 2009, the number of countries that
recognize Kosovo's independence reached 54.
The EU representative also said that the role of Brussels in solving the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains a minor, as a central place is reserved
for the United States, having great potential.
"The EU supports the U.S. efforts in this regard, and seeks the ways to
assist the Obama administration in
resolving this conflict, which must be resolved on the basis of
international law," said Standley.
Brussels, he said, made it clear to Israel that it opposes any
blockade, and calls for an immediate lifting of the economic and
humanitarian blockade of the Gaza Strip.
"The blockade of the Gaza Strip is not productive and in any case not in the
interest of economic development of the enclave. Our position is clear and exact
– we oppose any blockade," said Standley
The blockade of Gaza was
launched after the Palestinian movement Hamas
gained control over the enclave in June 2007. The blockade was strengthened
after a series of rocket attacks on southern Israel by Palestinian groups from
Gaza.
