Safadi, Maliki Warn Against ‘Killing 2-State Solution’
Arab World
Amman - Asharq Al-Awsat
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi and his Palestinian counterpart, Riyad al-Maliki, have warned that any Israeli annexation of territories in the West Bank would kill the two-state solution and hamper the chances for peace. In a joint statement issued by the Jordanian foreign ministry, Safadi and Maliki urged the international community to act to prevent Israel from annexing occupied Palestinian territories. They also warned during a meeting in Amman that such annexation “would kill the two-state solution and consequently hamper the chances for peace, which is an Arab strategic option and an international necessity.” Any such Israeli move would also be considered “a blatant violation of international law,” which should be rejected by the international community, they said. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, warned Thursday that “the dangerous prospect of annexation by Israel of parts of the occupied West Bank is a growing threat.” “If such a move were implemented, it would constitute a serious violation of international law, deal a devastating blow to the two-state solution, close the door to a renewal of negotiations, and threaten efforts to advance regional peace,” he said.
