British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the United Nations General Assembly that continued violence in Gaza and Israeli settlement expansion are pushing the two-state solution toward irreversibility, Middle East Eye reported.
Burnham's remarks at the UN forum highlighted the intersection of two major obstacles to peace: the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the expansion of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories. He framed both issues as existential threats to the viability of a two-state political arrangement between Israel and Palestine.
