United Kingdom says it’s committed to Gaza truce, two-state solution

The UK Foreign Office minister for Africa, UN, Commonwealth, and human rights highlighted the need to continue the fragile ceasefire in Gaza between Hamas and Israel.

“We have gathered today against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile and uncertain world. Conflicts and geopolitical tensions are robbing people across the world of their most basic rights,” Lord Ray Collins said in his address at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

“That is why the ceasefire in Gaza must be fully implemented,” Collins said. “We want to see an end to the conflict with every hostage released and vital aid reaching Gaza, leading to a credible process towards a two-state solution.”


No solution other than two-state solution: EU foreign policy chief

There can be no other solution other than a two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says.

“We support the Palestinian Authority and its return to Gaza. We support the return of every displaced Palestinian for whom Gaza is their home,” Kallas told a news conference after a meeting of EU-Israel Association Council.

“When the time comes, the EU will also support Gaza’s reconstruction together with the regional actors. Palestinians must be able to live in Gaza.”
