Palestinians waving their national flag巴勒斯坦人揮舞著他們的國旗
The European Union says it is prepared to recognize a Palestinian state in the wake of a groundswell of international support for the Palestinians.
歐盟說，它準備承認巴勒斯坦國，尾隨國際支持巴勒斯坦人的巨浪。
In a statement issued on Monday, the EU Foreign Affairs Council said it "reiterates its readiness, when appropriate, to recognize a Palestinian state," wrote the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz.
在一份週一發表的聲明，歐盟外交事務理事會表示，它“重申它準備在適當的時候，承認巴勒斯坦國，”以色列國土報寫道。
The EU also said such a state had to be “contiguous and viable.”
歐盟還說，這樣的國家是要“連續的和可行的。”
Brazil and Argentina recently recognized Palestine, and Uruguay and France have pledged that they will follow suit.
巴西和阿根廷最近承認巴勒斯坦，及烏拉圭和法國已承諾它們將效仿。
However, Israel continues to construct and expand illegal Jewish settler units on the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem). Tel Aviv occupied the territories in 1967.
Israel refused to extend a partial freeze on settlement activities in late September, thus stalling the direct talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) that had resumed earlier that month.
The Palestinians say that the settlement construction activities are being carried out to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
The EU foreign ministers, who were meeting in Brussels, "noted with regret" Tel Aviv's failure to prolong the moratorium.
The settlements “are illegal under international law and an obstacle to peace," the EU ministers said in a statement.
