Guterres: The right of Palestinians to form an independent state must be recognized
Criticizing Tel Aviv's policy of rejecting the two-state solution, the UN Secretary-General emphasized that not accepting the right of the Palestinians to form an independent state is a threat to peace. |
According to the report of Fars International News Agency, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that not accepting the two-state solution will definitely prolong the conflicts that “threaten world peace”.

Guterres said during the meeting of the United Nations Security Council, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution: “Everyone should recognize the right of the Palestinian people to build their own completely independent state and not accepting a two-state solution from Each side should be completely omitted”.
He also stated that the alternative plan of the one-state solution “according to which a large number of Palestinians inside the country do not have any sense of freedom, rights and dignity, is unthinkable.” .
Guterres, referring to the spread of tensions in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan, warned about the escalation of tensions in the region and said that conflicts “are now becoming a reality.” He called on all sides to “step back from the brink and consider the terrible costs” of the wider war.
US Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, Civil Security and Democracy Ezra Zia said at the Security Council meeting: “One of the key allies of diplomacy America is following a path towards a Palestinian state and normalization and unity between Israel and other regional countries.” Guterres once again confirmed his request for a humanitarian ceasefire, but the representative of the Zionist regime in Jordan’s Gilead rejected the call for a ceasefire, claiming that a cessation of hostilities would only allow Hamas to “regroup and re-arm”. >
