RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The president of the EU parliament says a unilateral Palestinian move toward statehood could be “dangerous.”
Frustrated by a long-standing impasse in peace talks with Israel, the Palestinians have mounted a campaign for international recognition at the U.N. General Assembly in September.
European support would be critical, but EU parliament chief Jerzy Buzek sounded cool to the idea on Tuesday.
Speaking in Ramallah, Buzek said he “understood” the Palestinian position but added it could complicate peace efforts.
