Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, repeated the long -term position of the organization that the solution of two states remains the only viable way to resolve the ten -year conflict between Israel and Palestine.
In an interview for or at the UN headquarters in New York Dujarric, he said: “The solution of two states, a meeting to be held later on Monday is very important to the General Assembly.
His comments came before the key meeting of 80. The UN General Assembly, where the Israeli-Palestinian problem returned to a global focus after recent development.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also reaffirmed the attitude of the world’s body and said that “statehood for Palestinians is a law, not a reward,” and warned that denial of statehood would serve the interests of extremist groups.
“The statehood for Palestinia is a law, not a remuneration and denial of statehood would be a gift everywhere for extremists. Without two states there will be no peace in the Middle East,” Guterres said at the UN headquarters on Monday (local time).
In the middle of this development, French President Emmanuel Macron formally announced the French recognition of the Palestine state and became the latest Western nation that he did so before 80. The UN General Assembly in New York.
The decision comes day after Canada, the UK and Australia also announced the formal recognition of Palestine, which is widely perceived as an effort to increase international pressure on Israel in the middle of its ongoing military campaign in Gaza.
“It is time. Therefore, faithful to the historical, historical commitment of my country in the Middle East, the peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Therefore, I declare that today France recognizes the state of Palestines,” he said during the summit of a bilateral solution in New York.
President Macron, who addressed the UN, said that the recognition of the Palestinian state is “the only solution to allow Israel to live in peace”, describes the decision as “defeat for Hamas”, CNN said.
He added: “We have to do everything in our strength to maintain the possibility of a two -hundred -meter solution, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.”
Meanwhile, Canada, Great Britain and Australia announced on Sunday the formal recognition of Palestine, days after the UN General Assembly mostly approved a resolution that requires a bilateral solution for Israel and Palestine.
Among these nations, Canada was the first to make its announcement followed by Australia and then the United Kingdom. This step monitors their previous obligations of these countries to grant recognition if Tel Aviv disagreed with the ceasefire in the ongoing conflict.
More than 140 countries have already recognized Palestine. The Great Britain and France’s decisions are considered significant as both members of the G7 and the UN Security Council.
September 12 The UN General Assembly underwent a resolution with a reviving solution of two states for Israel and Palestine, less than 24 hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah said he would never be a Palestinian state. India was one of the 142 nations, which voted for a resolution called “Approval of the New York Declaration on Peace Standing Palestine’s Question and the execution of two states”.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the decisions of Canada, Great Britain and Australia to recognize the Palestinian state.
The Palestinian MFA considers this to be the protection of two states to achieve peace.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the recognition of Palestine’s state by different countries and considers it to protect the solution of two states aimed at achieving peace,” the statement said.
In particular, Israel’s reaction to the recognition of the Palestinian state in the UK, Australia and Canada will come after returning from the US next week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said according to Israel.
“I have a clear news to those leaders who, after a terrible massacre, recognize the Palestinian state on October 7 – you give a huge reward of terror,” Netanyahu said in a video statement, as the times of Israel quoted.
“It won’t,” he continues. “The Palestinian state will not be established west of Jordan.”
Netanyahu said that under his leadership: “Israel doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria – and we will continue this course.”
“The reaction to the recent attempt to force the terrorist state to us in the heart of our country will be given after my return from the United States,” says Netanyahu. “Wait.”
“Israel categorically rejects the recognition of the Palestinian state by the United Kingdom and some other countries,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.
Statehood must remain in the final position and will not be disconnected from peace, says the ministry, adding that the Palestinian authority did not stop stimulating, remuneration of terrorists or adequately fighting terror. “The Palestinian authority is part of the problem and is not part of the solution,” Israel said, as Israel’s time quoted.
“Israel will not accept any independent and imaginary text that would try to force him to accept unhoitable boundaries,” the Foreign Ministry promises.
“Political gestures focused on domestic voting audiences damage only the Middle East and are not useful. Instead, if the countries that signed this statement wish to stabilize the region, they should focus on pressure on Hamas to release hostages and disarm immediately,” he said.
