Abandoning two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians ‘unacceptable’: UN’s Guterres

On Saturday, speaking at the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Kampala, Uganda, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the importance of adopting a two-state solution amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. “The refusal to accept the two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, and the denial of the right to statehood for the Palestinian people, are unacceptable,” he said and added, “The right of the Palestinian people to build their own state must be recognized by all.”
