US reaffirms commitment to two-state solution in phone call with Abbas

WASHINGTON, 06 November 2022, (TON): The State Department said “US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a phone call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.”

The move came as Israel’s former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has not endorsed the two-state idea, sealed his return to power following Tuesday’s election and launched negotiations on forming what could be the most right-wing government in Israel’s history.

The State Department said in a statement “in a call with Abbas, Blinken further reaffirmed our commitment to a two-state solution.”

Blinken and Abbas also discussed “joint efforts to improve the quality of life for the Palestinian people and enhance their security and freedom.”
