From Egyptian envoy says peace with Israel incomplete without Palestinian state
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s ambassador to Israel urges Jerusalem to restate its commitment to a two-state solution and accept the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative, saying the peace agreement with his own country remains incomplete without an independent Palestinian state.
“In the absence of a just solution to the Palestinian problem, never will there be a durable and just peace,” Hazem Khairat says in Tel Aviv, paraphrasing Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s groundbreaking speech to the Knesset 40 years ago. “We cannot attempt to achieve partial peace and export the whole problem to future generations.”
Khairat also urges Israel to support the reconciliation of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party with the terrorist group Hamas.
