EU: Give Palestinians Whatever They Want

I assume that if the EU knew that making peace was this easy, they would have done this sooner:

The right of return must be included in all negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, a senior spokeswoman for the European Union told Israeli reporters in Brussels on Wednesday.

Christiane Hohmann said the EU supports the Arab initiative in full, including all of its clauses.

She added that the matter of the right of return of Palestinian refugees will be discussed in talks between the parties and that a widespread solution was needed to solve the deep conflict.

In response to the question whether the EU supports a withdrawal from the
Golan Heights as part of the Arab initiative, Hohmann said the union supports the implementation of all relevant United Nations resolutions. [emphasis added]

And of course there will be balance:

Hohmann stressed that the EU plans to continue applying pressure on both parties in order to reach an agreement.

What kind of pressure do you suppose the EU will put on Abbas--to demand more?
Olmert really put his foot in it this time.
