“We spoke at some length about our common quest to move forward on peace with the Palestinians. I think the only way to move that is through direct negotiations. Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority has moved away from these negotiations, but I believe, I remain committed to the idea that the only way we can achieve a lasting peace is through the concept of two states for two peoples – a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish nation state of Israel.

I know that Germany shares this view and I appreciate that.” (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a press conference alongside German Foreign Minister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, 31/05/2015)
