More than 70 countries have called on Israel and the Palestinians to restate their commitment to a peace settlement and to refrain from unilateral actions.
The closing statement at a Mideast peace conference in Paris on Sunday was meant to send a powerful message to Israel and the incoming Trump administration to keep hopes alive for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
Trump’s campaign platform made no mention of Palestinian independence — the solution favored by the international community.
The statement urged both sides to “officially restate their commitment to the two-state solution” and disassociate from voices that reject this. It also called for them not to take one-side actions that could prejudge talks.
