Prime Minister Fayyad wrote to me recently, and to other EU Heads of State or Government, to express his views on the ongoing discussions regarding EU-Israel relations in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy.

I replied to Prime Minister Fayyad following the conclusion of the General Affairs and External Relations Council discussions on the matter on 16 June. In my letter, I expressed Ireland's continuing commitment to helping promote the achievement of a lasting and justly negotiated two-State solution and our belief that the EU must play a strong political role in this regard.
