A Gaza militant shot dead an Israeli soldier in July.<\/p>\n<p>\nPalestinian foreign minister Riyad Al-Maliki also slammed the US administration of President Donald Trump \u201cwhich has really sided with Israel, taken the wrong side of history, of justice.\u201d<br \/>The Palestinians have already vowed to block Trump\u2019s peace plan and severed ties with his administration after his December decision to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and declare the city Israel\u2019s capital.<br \/>The Palestinians also see the city as the capital of their future state and international consensus has been that Jerusalem\u2019s status must be negotiated between the two sides.<br \/>\u201cIf the Americans are not willing to do anything, Europe should do that,\u201d Al-Maliki said<br \/>\u201cWe should force the change to happen, that\u2019s why we are pushing for a European role,\u201d including backing an international peace conference.<br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s not our responsibility to protect the two-state solution, it\u2019s your responsibility,\u201d he said, without which Israel would continue to develop separate systems for Israelis and Palestinians, as it already does with road networks and public transport.<br \/>Israeli parliament speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s right-wing Likud party, was also attending the MED gathering and said the two sides should focus on cooperation.<br \/>\u201cIf the idea of peace process is again some theory of two courageous leaders in a room shaking hands and signing an agreement, that doesn\u2019t work,\u201d said Edelstein.<br \/>\u201cThe only way to get back to a situation where we can do something positive is cooperation in practical fields (like manufacturing or water management). We don\u2019t need a comprehensive agreement to cooperate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palestinian FM calls for two-state solution as 14 injured in calmer Gaza border protest ROME \/ GAZA: The world must help resolve the Israel-Palestinian issue by backing a two-state solution to avoid the creation of an apartheid state, Palestinian foreign minister Riyad Al-Maliki said on Friday.\u201cThe Palestinians are still waiting for the international community to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":23003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle_east_news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qatar-news.org\/qatarnewsEn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
