In a joint statement France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the
United Kingdom said:
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom
are deeply concerned about the announcement of a
possible annexation of areas in the West Bank,
particularly the Jordan valley and the northern shore
of the Dead Sea.
This would, if implemented, constitute a serious
breach of international law. France, Germany, Italy,
Spain and the United Kingdom will continue to call on
all parties to refrain from actions in contravention
of international law that would imperil the viability
of a two-state solution, based on the 1967 lines, and
make it harder to achieve a just and lasting peace.
We are clear about Israel’s right to security and
strongly condemn recent attacks on Israel from Gaza.
