Israel’s aversion to a “two-state solution” to the Palestinian controversy should not prevent global powers from developing and even imposing a plan, according to the European Union’s top diplomat. 

“That shouldn’t stop the rest of us from doing it on our own,” European Union High Representative Josep Borrell told reporters after a foreign affairs council meeting on Monday, per an unofficial translation. “And if the international community manages to build a solution, it will have to propose it, and if the proposal is not agreed upon, then, naturally, there is what is called leverage.”
