LONDON, Thursday, May 16, 2019 (WAFA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Riyad al-Maliki said on Thursday that the two-state solution could come to an end if Israel remained uncommitted to the international resolutions.
Addressing the UK Parliament in London, al-Maliki said, "The current situation is approaching a critical point that may become a disaster if no intervention is made to rescue the two-state solution."
He called for "sending clear messages to Israel that any solution that is not based on the resolutions of international legitimacy and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state is destined to failure."
The Foreign Minister earlier held separate meetings with his counterpart Jeremy Hunt and the leader of the UK opposition Jeremy Corbin and discussed with them the situation in Palestine.
During his meeting with Hunt, al-Maliki reiterated the rejection on behalf of the Palestinian leadership of the US-led "deal of the century" which does not meet any of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.
Al-Malki also handed Hunt a letter from President Mahmoud Abbas to the Prime Minister of the UK, Theresa May.
