CAIRO: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict should be preserved, at a press conference in Cairo on Wednesday.
“There was a complete agreement” that a resolution needs a “two state-solution and that everything must be done to preserve that possibility,” Guterres said after meeting Sisi.
A senior Palestinian official denounced the White House comment on Wednesday, saying it was irresponsible.
“This does not make sense,” Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi said. “This is not a responsible policy and it does not serve the cause of peace.
“They cannot just say that without an alternative,” she added.
PLO secretary-general Saeb Erekat said the organisation remained committed to two states and would oppose any system that discriminated against Palestinians. — AFP
