A new international coalition to seek a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict has gained traction on Thursday despite Israel’s absence from the talks, APA reports citing Euractiv.
Thursday’s meeting, co-hosted by Saudi Arabia, the EU, Norway and a series of other countries on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, explored renewed peace efforts and a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
“We meant to take stock of how many people want to engage in the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution – and from this point of view, it was a great success,” EU’s chief diplomat Josep Borrell told Euractiv in New York on Thursday (26 September).
According to the organisers, the talks were attended by over 90 countries and almost 60 foreign ministers from across the UN spectrum.
The first follow-up meetings at the senior working level are expected to be held in Riyadh and Brussels, with more to follow in Cairo, Oslo, Amman, and Ankara.
“We now have launched a process, (…) it’s up to us now to put concrete proposals on the table,” Borrell said.
