At UN, U.S. Calls for Resumption of Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations

(U.S. Mission to the UN) The U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Alejandro Wolff, told the Security Council Wednesday: "Today, we are witnessing a struggle between those in the region who accept peace and coexistence with Israel and those who reject it and seek continued violence....The two-state solution is the only way to resolve the conflict.

"We renew our specific call for Arab states to establish regional and multilateral dialogues with Israel, concurrent with the resumption of bilateral negotiations. Only through good-faith negotiations can the parties mutually agree on an outcome that ends the conflict and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet Israeli security requirements."
