EUobserver reports that The EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell rejected the US plan floated by Donald Trump's son-in-law to settle the decades-long dispute between Israel and Palestine. The EU says the US proposal does not meet the terms for a negotiated two-state solution, based on 1967 lines, with equivalent land-swaps, agreed between the parties. "The US initiative, as presented on 28 January, departs from these internationally-agreed parameters," said Borrell.
US President Donald Trump announced his “Deal of the Century” peace plan together with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday in the White House, giving Israel full control of the settlements and Jerusalem as its undivided capital. The plan also established a Palestinian state, according to the Jerusalem post.
