The UN Secretary-General warned Tuesday that the two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict risks collapse, citing illegal Israeli settlement expansion and annexation as primary threats, UN News reported. The official statement emphasized that time is running out to preserve the framework that has anchored decades of peace efforts.
Settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territory and unilateral annexation moves have undermined the viability of a future Palestinian state, the UN chief indicated. The warning reflects growing international concern that the conditions necessary for establishing two separate, viable states have been eroding.
