BRUSSELS, January 13, 2010 (WAFA)-The U.S. special envoy for Middle East peace is urging international donors to help the Palestinian Authority pay for new institutions for a future state, VOA reported Tuesday.

George Mitchell discussed Palestinian financial aid in Brussels with Middle East Quartet Representative Tony Blair, Norwegian Foreign Affairs Minister Jonas Gahr Store, and the European Union's foreign policy representative, Catherine Ashton.

After the meeting, Mitchell reaffirmed Washington's stance that Israeli-Palestinian peace will not be achieved unless both sides have their own state.
