He welcomed the position of the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, who stressed the importance of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the principle of the two-state solution. Al-Maliki considered this European position consistent with international law, resolutions and the terms of reference of the international peace process, as it provides the opportunity to launch a peace process and real negotiations. He further stressed the importance of providing the appropriate atmosphere and climates for peace process progress to be made, including the need to stop Israeli violations in all their forms.
