EU's Mogherini says ignoring U.N. resolutions on the Golan "not a solution"

"Paying no attention the United Nations Security Council resolutions on the Golan Heights, where were seized by Israel from Syria in the 1967 war, was not a solution," European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in her speech at Arab League summit in Tunis on Sunday as speaking of the latest political developments related to the Middle East region.

European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Sunday that ignoring United Nations Security Council resolutions on the Golan Heights was "not a solution".

Mogherini also said a two state solution for Israel and Palestine was "the only viable and realistic solution ... we have a responsibility to prevent the two state solution from being irreversibly dismantled," she told an Arab League summit in Tunis.

"Any future plan will have to recognise the internationally agreed parameters including on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, and the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of the two states."
