The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has expressed his firm support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stating that opposition to such a solution is unacceptable. In a tweet on Saturday, Guterres emphasized that the right of the Palestinian people to establish their own state must be recognized by all parties involved.
Guterres' remarks came in response to recent statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who once again dismissed the idea of a Palestinian state. Netanyahu took to social media on Saturday, stating that he would not compromise on Israel's full security control over the territory west of the Jordan River, which he believes contradicts the notion of a Palestinian state.
