BRUSSELS, Jumada II 7, 1436, Mar 27, 2015, SPA -- The European Union is assessing new ways to push Israel back to the peace negotiating table with the Palestinians for a deal based on a two-state solution, working in tandem with the United States, ِAP cited EU officials as saying. The EU is exploring new diplomatic terrain and could consider ways to discourage Europeans from buying products from Israeli settlements it believes are illegal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's election rhetoric has fueled doubts about Israel's commitment to a two-state solution a cornerstone of EU and U.S. policies for ending the Middle East conflict. "We will not forget or ignore what was being said during the campaign and in particular some of the incendiary statements by Prime Minister Netanyahu," German EU lawmaker Reinhard Buetikofer told The Associated Press. An EU diplomat dealing with Middle East issues said the Israeli premier's remarks could amount to "a fundamental breach" of the two-state policy. -- SPA 18:33 LOCAL TIME 15:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1343003
