It came during EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini’s first visit to the region.
The statement contradicts Prime MInister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent election message of saying he would not permit a Palestinian state to be established on his watch.
His remarks at the time drew a comment from US President Barack Obama saying, “it made it hard to find a path back to serious peace negotiations”.
Those negotiations brokered by Washington last broke off in April 2014 in a dispute over Jewish settlement building in occupied land and Palestinian accusations that Israel had not fulfilled all the terms of a promised prisoner release.
