Global News published this video item, entitled “Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Blinken reaffirms need for two-state solution after Netanyahu talks” – below is their description.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israelis and Palestinians to ease tensions on Monday during a visit to Jerusalem, reaffirming a long-stalled peace vision of two states side-by-side as the “only path” forward.
Arriving amid the bloodiest violence in years, Blinken focused censure on a Palestinian gun spree outside a synagogue that put Israel on high alert but also cautioned against any celebration or avenging of such bloodshed.
Seven people were shot dead in Friday’s attack by an East Jerusalem man who was then killed by police.
After meeting Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Blinken restated Washington’s belief that a two-state solution was the only way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“As I said to the prime minister, anything that would move us away from that vision is, in our judgment, detrimental to Israel’s long-term security and long-term identity as a Jewish and democratic state,” Blinken said.
