UN Chief Says Middle East Peace Impossible Without Two-State Solution
Antonio Guterres warns that a 'creeping annexation' of the West Bank must stop, reaffirming that a two-state framework remains essential to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there can be no lasting peace in the Middle East without a two-state solution, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Guterres stated that "the creeping annexation of the West Bank must stop," the agency reported, signaling continued UN concern over Israeli settlement activity and territorial changes in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The UN chief's remarks reaffirm the organization's longstanding position that a negotiated settlement resulting in an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel remains the only viable path to resolving the decades-long conflict.
Anadolu Agency did not provide additional details in the excerpt regarding the specific context or venue of Guterres' statement.
The United Nations has repeatedly called for renewed negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, with the two-state solution serving as the cornerstone of international diplomatic efforts in the region for decades.
