UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reiterated his commitment to the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, countering Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely's recent rejection of the plan. Sunak expressed concern over the ongoing conflict, emphasizing the need for a resolution. While acknowledging Israel's right to self-defense, Sunak emphasized the importance of protecting civilians. Hotovely, in an interview with Sky News, categorically dismissed the possibility of a two-state solution, stating that Palestinians never intended to have a state alongside Israel. The divergence in positions highlights the complexity of the Middle East peace process.
