German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, were sold off on Thursday for past disagreements with Berlin's commitment not to support any unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state as the UN seeks to promote the Palestinian National Authority ( ANP). Merkel, supported by his crutches after knee surgery last week, and Netanyahu appeared before the press to minimize the disagreements that marked their previous meeting in February and removing iron even by Israel, the purpose of building new settlements.
The chancellor urged his guest to follow "the steps that mark the Quartet Middle East Peace," UN, EU, U.S. and Russia, whose next meeting is expected next week and in which Israel fears that she will come over a strong pressure towards the activation of the stalled negotiations. True to typical role of combining constraint messages with the balm conciliator, Merkel rebuked his first partner to revive the dialogue, to then give their full support in what exactly what the Prime Minister seeks allies: the rejection a unilateral declaration by the ANP.
"My government supports and will support a solution based on two states, Israel and Palestine, recognized each other. A unilateral recognition can not be any contribution towards that goal," Merkel stressed. The ANP, saw that there is no progress in their aspirations to the UN seeks to promote the recognition of a unilateral declaration of Palestinian state, a situation against which Netanyahu needs a block of "allies." Merkel stressed, as he always does, that "Germany is a close ally of Israel, recognizing its responsibility to its elemental right to exist." In return, Netanyahu softened the most criticized aspects of his administration and said the Jewish settlement policy is "not an insurmountable obstacle, but rather to decide on the negotiating table.
Facing international criticism, including the U.S., the recent announcement to build near a thousand homes on occupied Palestinian land, southwest of Jerusalem, Netanyahu said that this aspect is "overcome" if it achieves the "common goal" of the resumption of the talks. For the Israeli prime minister, there was never the "severe confrontations" between his government and the Berlin described by means of the two countries in the last meeting between the two, in February, which reproached Merkel did not do anything for peace.
"Our discussions have always proceeded in a sincere and friendly atmosphere," said Netanjahu, to which Merkel said that the two could have been, and remained "occasional controversy, but never serious dissent." The Chancellor, without abandoning the conciliatory tone, he urged his party to reactivate "at any cost" negotiations with the Palestinians and giving them notice to do so "until next September." The growing instability throughout the region and the Arab riots become "more urgent than ever" the revival of the negotiations, said Merkel, for whom, in this context, the Iranian nuclear program is "more than ever a threat.
