On the second day of his Middle East mission, Minister for Foreign Affairs Giulio Terzi is in Ramallah, where he has met with Palestinian foreign minister Riad al Malki, to whom he expressed his \u201cconcern\u201d over the Palestinian Authority\u2019s decision to present a resolution to the UN for recognition of \u201cnon-member status\u201d, which, Terzi said, \u201cruns the risk of polarizing the debate at the next UN General Assembly and causing friction on others of the region\u2019s important issues. My concerns\u201d, Terzi added, \u201care not enough to make the Palestinian government reconsider their timing on these decisions\u201d, assuring his counterpart that the initiative would, in any case, be evaluated by the European partners \u201cwith an earnest and friendly attitude\u201d.<\/P>
\n
For his part, Malki underscored his \u201cfeeling obligated to take this initiative to the UN in the absence of developments in peace talks\u201d with Israel. Terzi then reiterated \u201cour government\u2019s strong conviction\u201d that dialogue with Israel must be relaunched in order to resume the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.<\/P>
\n
Later this afternoon Terzi will be in Cairo \u2013 where he returns after having visited in July \u2013 to meet with Arab League Secretary Nabil el Araby and Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi along with his colleagues from Malta, Tonio Borg, Greece, Dimitrios Avramopoulos and Cyprus Erato Kozakuo-Maurcoullis, to discuss the new Egypt and its Mediterranean relations.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the second day of his Middle East mission, Minister for Foreign Affairs Giulio Terzi is in Ramallah, where he has met with Palestinian foreign minister Riad al Malki, to whom he expressed his \u201cconcern\u201d over the Palestinian Authority\u2019s decision to present a resolution to the UN for recognition of \u201cnon-member status\u201d, which, Terzi said, […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6,76],"class_list":["post-19033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-approfondimenti","tag-mediterraneo-e-medio-oriente","tag-ministri-precedenti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
