Peace in the Middle East Initiative

The aim of the ministerial meeting “Peace in the Middle East Initiative” scheduled in Paris today at the proposal of France, is to revive international support for the two-State solution in the Middle East. The meeting convenes the representatives of 29 Countries, including Italy. The dispute between Israel and Palestine, which has been at a deadlock for several years, risks losing priority in the present regional geopolitical scenario in which the emergency created by jihadist-driven terrorism has become the international community’s top priority. In this perspective, the ministerial meeting in Paris proposes to set forth a common position on the basis of which the Parties might resume the negotiation process.
