JERUSALEM (AP) â Israel's prime minister says the European Union should join U.S. attempts to restart stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks Benjamin Netanyahu also reiterated Israel's position that talks should resume immediately and without preconditions, which is also the U.S. stance. He spoke Thursday at a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. Ashton says Europe supports the resumption of talks, describing it as "the way forward." But the Palestinians refuse to resume talks until Israel ends construction in territory they seek for their future state. Israel says settlements and other issues should be resolved through negotiations. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected in the region next week for another attempt to get the sides together. If attempts fail, the Palestinians have said they'd pursue a strategy of international recognition alone.
