The United States Declares Rejection of the Two-State Solution Conference

SadaNews Translation: On Monday evening, the U.S. State Department expressed its rejection of the conference held at the United Nations regarding the two-state solution. U.S. State Department spokesperson Tami Bruce commented on the conference, stating that it is unproductive and untimely concerning the two-state solution. The spokesperson added, as translated by SadaNews: "This is a publicity stunt that comes amid delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict; instead of promoting peace, the conference will prolong the war, encourage Hamas, reward its obstruction, and undermine real efforts to achieve peace." She referred to remarks made by her minister, Marco Rubio, who stated that this effort represents a slap in the face to the victims of October 7 and a reward for terrorism. It keeps the hostages trapped in tunnels. The United States will not participate in this insult, but it will continue to lead practical efforts to end the fighting and achieve lasting peace. Our focus will remain on serious diplomacy, not on arranged conferences aimed at distorting reality, according to him. She also noted Hamas's welcome of French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement recognizing a Palestinian state, saying: "This reflects a pattern of unconstructive initiatives that only serve to encourage Hamas, obstruct a ceasefire, and undermine our diplomatic efforts to end the suffering in Gaza, free the hostages, and push the entire Middle East towards a brighter and more prosperous future."
