G7 make no mention of two-state solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict – draft final statement

Foreign ministers from the G7 nations on Friday made no mention of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in their final draft statement, dropping language that had underscored its importance in earlier drafts of the text.

The members instead stressed the imperative of a “political horizon for the Palestinian people” and reaffirmed their support for the resumption of unhindered humanitarian aid into Gaza and for a permanent ceasefire.

The final draft still needs to be approved by ministers later on Friday.
