Mahmoud Abbas urged European Union (EU) countries to recognize Palestine state soon. The Palestinian president of Brussels said on Monday that Palestinians should recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of East Jerusalem.
US Vice President Mike Pence, who is visiting the Middle East, said on Monday that the US embassy will be moved to Israel from Tel Aviv by the end of 2019. On the same day Mahmud Abbas said this.
On December 6, the US President Donald Trump recognized the holy land Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
In a meeting with the EU Foreign Ministers, Mahmud Abbas described the 28-state coalition as 'true associate and friend' of Palestine. He also urged the alliance to take 'political' initiative in the Middle East.
According to Mahmoud Abbas, if Palestinians recognize the EU, there will be no obstacles to resuming peace talks with Israel.
Later Abbas said, "Europeans are with us on the issue of Jerusalem. But they have not made any decision right now. Analysts believe that the United States has been deprived of US diplomats to negotiate with the US Vice President and to discuss the Palestinian presidential meeting. It has also been visible that Palestinians do not yet trust Washington for the peace process in Israel-Palestine.
EU foreign affairs chief Federica Magrini said that "we must talk and work with our responsibilities" to reach the two state resolutions. "The EU parliament recognized Palestine as a state in 2014" from the principle of principle ". The EU's nine governments already recognize Palestine as a state.
