United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged nations to take concrete and irreversible steps toward making a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians a reality, as preparations were underway for an upcoming international summit scheduled for June.
“I encourage Member States to go beyond affirmations, and to think creatively about the concrete steps they will take to support a viable two-state solution before it is too late,” Guterres told a session of the Security Council focused on the Middle East.
France and Saudi Arabia had announced that they would jointly lead the June conference at the United Nations.
“Our objective is clear: to make progress on the recognition of Palestine and the normalization of relations with Israel at the same time,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told the Security Council.
“This is how we will be able to guarantee Israel’s security and its regional integration, whilst responding to the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians to have their own state,” he said.
Barrot also emphasized that any real advancement toward a two-state solution would require Hamas to disarm, the creation of a legitimate governing structure in Gaza that excluded Hamas, and significant reforms within the Palestinian Authority.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu had reiterated on several occasions that Israel would not permit the Palestinian Authority to have any role in administering the Gaza Strip. In a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier in the month, he also stated that creating a Palestinian state would be a “huge prize for terror.”

What’s the problem? There already are 2 states: Israel for Jews and Jordan for the invented Palestinian people who originally came from Jordan.
its been too late since yehoshua brought us into eretz yisrael
Never. Annex Judea and Samaria, our heartland.
and Gaza which is part of Shevet Yehuda
The UN is not just an evil anti-Israel organization. It is also collectively and cumulatively ignorant. The very idea that the Palis can have a state is absurd. They are not civilized, they are intrisically bloodthirsty savages, and their hatred will never be quelled by all the efforts of the UN or its member nations. Allowing them statehood automatically allows them to have a military and weapons. Anyone who doesn’t comprehend the absurdity of that is unworthy of any political position. History is crammed with efforts to offer the Palestinians peace, land, sovereingty, and there was never a peaceful moment for Israel. The only results of Israel’s concessions was another spike in terror. These ignoramuses need to realize that no Palestinian entity can be expected to live peacefully alongside Israel. They will never do it. And their promises, commitments, deals, treaties, accords, etc. are worthless pieces of paper and breath.
Firstly, Hamas should be completely eliminated. Next, no PLO or PA can be trusted. They are terrorists themselves, proven in countless ways. We cannot be fooled by the business suits worn by Abbas and some of the other moral degenerates. And the UN must be stopped from its campaign to accomplish in NY what Iran and its surrogates are doing in the Middle East.
That ship already sailed.
Concrete steps? Sorry pal, all that concrete was used by Hamas to make the attack/terror tunnels.
From the pattern of his comments and the timing as well as what he won’t comment on, my only conclusion, which is not such a novel concept, is that he’s on the take.
He financially benefits from this along with the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, unrwa…
He needs this to continue until Jews are annihilated and hopefully while he cashes in.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Gutless Guterres is a Moron. He is soooooo stupid.
Only acceptable 2-State Solution: Eretz-Yisrael and El Salvador.
