Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell warned Tuesday that Washington was losing its traditional mediating role in the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict by "aligning" with Israel.
"I regret that the United States, which for many years played a role in contributing to the peace process... are unfortunately disqualifying themselves from playing a mediator role that has the confidence of both parties," Borrell told a press briefing in Madrid with the Palestinian Authority (PA) official in charge of foreign affairs, Riyad al-Maliki.
