Meretz chief Zehava Galon writes that Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s remarks in support of a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly are “historic.”

“Finally, the vision of peace is on the agenda,” left-wing leader Galon tweets.

“To put an end to the cycle of bloodshed, to end control over millions of Palestinians, and to years of pain and bereavement on both sides.”
