Speaking to reporters after an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels, he presented his proposals as saying "no" to three things and "yes" to three others.
He should there should be "a Palestinian authority," which he suggested could be a "reinforced" version of the current Palestinian Authority that runs the West Bank, "with a legitimacy to be defined and decided upon by the (U.N.) Security Council".
He said Arab countries would have to be more strongly involved in supporting this Palestinian Authority and that the EU should also be more involved in the region, particularly in building a Palestinian state.
"There will be no solution without strong commitment from the Arab states, and that cannot be limited to money.
We have delegated the solution of this problem to the United States," Borrell said.
