EU wrestles with Israel over two-state solution

In this episode, the Beyond the Byline podcast looks into the EU’s new push towards a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

EU foreign ministers held a flurry of separate meetings in Brussels this week – with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, his Palestinian counterpart Riyad al-Maliki as well as other Arab ministers – to discuss how to achieve peace in the Middle East.

Euractiv’s Global Europe and Defence editor, Alexandra Brzozowski, explains the main takeaways from the talks.
