Brussels, December 19, 2009 (WAFA)- Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos, said, yesterday, that he will work towards establishing a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in 2010.
Moratinos, whose country is the incoming president of European Union on January 1, 2010, said in a press conference held in Brussels: My idea, and my dream, and my engagement, is to work for having in 2010, finally, a Palestinian state that could live in peace and security with Israel.”
He affirmed that although he cannot give any guarantees on that, this is what “we’ll strive for.”
He wondered, “why do we have to wait before the establishment of a Palestinian state? We already have an Israeli one, why wait before establishing its neighbor.”
'It has to be done through negotiation, it has to be done by agreement, it has to be done through international community recognition,' he affirmed.
