Palestine-Israel-European Union, Politics, 6/5/2006

EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), Javier Solana, in Ramallah today said that the EU is committed to resume supporting the Palestinian people.

"The Palestinian people can be assured that the EU will not let them down and we will continue to support them as much as we can. The amount of money which will be spent in the year 2006 will be more than that spent in 2005," he told the press conference.

Regarding the mechanisms of supporting the Palestinian people, Solana said that EU works on a mechanism to put the money in a context of humanitarian aid in broader context and to get as many donors in the same mechanism.

Solana asserted on the necessity of the Palestinian Israeli dialogue, adding that he would talk with the Israelis to launch talks.
