“This refusal [of a two-state solution], and the denial of the right to statehood to the Palestinian people, would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a major threat to global peace and security,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres says.
UN council members roundly called for the two-State solution to be realized and for an end to the war, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire to end the suffering of Palestinians and allow the aid they urgently need to be delivered unhindered.
Many speakers from the wider UN membership echoed those calls.
A two-state solution would not have worked in Germany in 1946 and it would not work here. Israel is responsible for every Palestinian life despite their denials. One state with equal rights for all, and probably a new constitution which would make another Netanyahu impossible, is the path forward. To preempt the common revisionist Zionist argument, I don’t think the Palestinians are too primitive and barbaric to deserve full rights. I’m from the American South and that argument is very familiar to me.
