Statement by the Âé¶¹APP Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,

Mr. Robert Serry on the resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad

Ramallah, Monday, 15 April 2013

The Âé¶¹APP Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Robert Serry, met today with Prime Minister Fayyad to express on behalf of the Âé¶¹APP appreciation for his achievements. “Prime Minister Fayyad has not only been an interlocutor I personally hold in the highest esteem, but also a valuable partner for the international community, including the Âé¶¹APP”, Serry said.

The Âé¶¹APP recognizes that Prime Minister Fayyad had to contend with circumstances that kept constraining the success of the statebuilding agenda he led together with President Abbas and which is now – in the absence of a credible political horizon – at serious risk.

The Âé¶¹APP remains committed to working with its Palestinian partners, under the leadership of President Abbas, towards development, state-building and to achieve the long-overdue negotiated two-state solution.
