78. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if Israel and Palestine were discussed at the recent EU meeting of foreign ministers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24450/19]

The most recent meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council took place in Brussels on 13 May. Ministers did not discuss Israel and Palestine.

I do however expect that the Middle East Peace Process will be discussed at the forthcoming meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg on 18 June, since regional issues would be a natural topic for discussion with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jordan, who is expected to be present.
