EU: New Palestinian government must comply

The European Union is prepared to cooperate with the Palestinian national unity government on condition that it complies with the requirements laid down by the Middle East Quartet, the German government said Monday. 'The EU is prepared to cooperate with the Palestinian government of national unity insofar as it reflects the Quartet criteria in its statements and its actions,' German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said.

Germany currently holds the six-month rotating EU presidency. The Quartet - the EU, the United States, the United Nations and Russia - has stipulated that a Palestinian government must acknowledge Israel's right to exist, renounce violence and acknowledge previous international agreements.
