Press Release: MEPs press the EU to come up with a bold peace initiative for the Middle East

The European Parliament called on 10 September 2015 for a fresh approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by the European Union. The plenary considered that the EU should fulfill its responsibilities as an influential player and take a bold and comprehensive peace initiative for the region. MEPs also regretted the lack of a comprehensive and coherent vision of the EU's engagement in the Middle East Peace Process, despite its ambitions there.

Inn a separate vote on the previous day, the EP had decided to change the name of its 'Delegation for relations with the Palestinian Legislative Council' to 'Delegation for relations with Palestine'.
