Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), said, the fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants, known as, Hamas, can “only” be put to rest with “the two-state solution”.
The UN Chief pleaded with the “international community” to remain focused “in its commitment to that solution”.
Guterres said: “Only the two-State solution – with Israel & Palestine living side-by-side – can ensure the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, and a just & lasting peace in the region.
“The international community must not waver in its commitment to that solution.”
The fighting between Israel and Hamas started in the early hours of Saturday 7 October, 2023 after Hamas launched a surprise attack in the Southern region of Israel, killings hundreds of Israelis with several others taken hostage.
The United States (US) and European Leaders have come together and taken a stand on a “two-state solution” to end the fighting and bring peace within the Middle East.
