UN Reiterates Two-state Solution on International’ Day of Solidarity With Palestinians

The United Nations has urged the international community to progress towards a two-state solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict, emphasizing that Jerusalem be the capital for both states.

In a speech authored by UN chief Antonio Guterres, the director-general of the UN office in Geneva, Tatiana Valovaya said it is imperative to decisively and irreversibly move towards a two-state solution based on United Nations resolutions and international law.

Gaza City mayor Yahya al-Sarraj says Israeli forces are preventing fuel from entering, adding that the aid that does manage to come in “is not enough either in quantity or quality”.

With no fuel to operate generators, water pumps and pump stations, al-Sarraj told Newsmen that there were fears an “environmental disaster” would ensue.

In the same vein, in an address yesterday to commemorate the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, the UN general assembly president, Dennis France, said the Palestinian people – as all human beings – are entitled to their fundamental and inalienable right to live in dignity, with all liberties.

He added that Palestinians also deserve freedom of movement, freedom from fear and from any want and with unfettered access to basic services.
