United Nations General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock stressed the importance of a two-state solution as she condemned the expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank, APA reports citing CNN.
She said the settlement expansions and demolition in the occupied West Bank are “eroding any prospects for a political solution.”
Israel has approved a controversial plan to build thousands of new housing units in the West Bank that would cut the territory in two, with far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich previously saying, “the Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans, but with actions.”
Detailing the destruction in Gaza amid Israel’s offensive, Baerbock said: “The horrors of Gaza make equally clear that we cannot allow such devastation to happen again.”
She detailed her interactions with both Palestinians, whose family members are “buried in the ruins of Gaza,” and families of the hostages still waiting for their loved ones to be released from Hamas captivity.
“As one Israeli mother told me, it does not bring my child back if a Palestinian mother loses her child in Gaza,” Baerbock recounted.
