Merkel: Europe to help with Israel-Palestinians peace talks
The visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel promised Sunday that Europe will try to build a new burst of international efforts to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. In her first Middle East trip as the current rotating EU president, Merkel told Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni the Europeans are ready to offer support, but ultimately the sides must resolve their differences themselves, according to the news released from Israeli Government Press Office.
"The Europeans must not assume that they could force a solution. We can't and I don't want to do it," she said in her speech, adding "Within my abilities, I would like to support the sides to walk the path toward peace."
