EU sends Netanyahu strong warning over two-state issue. The Jerusalem Post reports that "Karel Schwarzenberg, foreign minister of the Czech Republic which currently holds the EU presidency, said that if the new Israeli government does not commit itself to establishing a Palestinian state, 'relations would become very difficult indeed.'"
If the EU takes that position with Israel, are they going to take a similar position with the Palestinians? Will they require Hamas and Hezbollah to recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state?
Let's be blunt. Israel is not the difficult party to this. Israel wants peace and would accept a 2 state solution. The Palestinians, Hamas and Hezbollah have shown no reason for anyone to believe that they will accept a 2 state solution on a permanent basis. At most they would accept a 2 state solution only as a preliminary step toward the destruction of Israel.
