The United Nations and the United Kingdom have underscored the importance of a two-state solution to achieve peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict, amid increasing international criticism of Israel’s rejection of Palestinian statehood. On Wednesday, the UK’s foreign minister, as part of his Middle East tour, emphasized Britain’s enduring support for a two-state solution. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres echoed this sentiment on Tuesday, asserting that denying Palestinian statehood would prolong the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
