European Union foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, said Sunday the time was opportune for relaunching peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, thanks to the existence of "political will" on the part of all players he met recently, according to DPA. Judging by "the talks I have had with different actors in the United States and in the region, I think the political will is there for moving the peace process", Solana told a press conference before leaving for Israel on the last leg of a regional tour. Solana Sunday met with King Abdullah on the prospects of pushing ahead the peace negotiations. He earlier visited Egypt and the Palestinian territories. According to a royal court statement, King Abdullah "underscored the importance of the EU upgrading its role in efforts aimed at reinvigorating the peace process and ensuring the availability of appropriate circumstances for resuming negotiations."
