A resolution which European Union foreign ministers passed Tuesday to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and a future Palestinian state "ignores the primary obstacle to achieving a resolution between Israel and the Palestinians," according to a Foreign Ministry statement. The statement said that main factor preventing an agreement was "the Palestinian refusal to return to the negotiating table."
