The deputy premier told Erekat that the Qatari Emir and his foreign minister stressed in two separate meetings with Kushner that a solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict requires an end to the Israeli occupation and the establishment of the independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital to live in peace and security alongside Israel based on international law, United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
