Naledi Pandor reiterated that for South Africa South, the solution to this conflict involves the establishment of two states: “It is important to emphasize that the conflict between Israel and Palestine can only be resolved through the establishment of two states, Palestine and Israel, living side by side in peace. The Palestinian State must be created along the lines of the 1967 border, with East Jerusalem as its capital and in line with the multiple UN resolutions in force. For the materialization of this two-state solution, the United Nations must urgently begin with the respective peace process”, he stated.
