A two-state solution to allow for peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians is the “only solution” to the current conflict, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says before heading into an EU foreign ministers’ meeting.
“All those who say they don’t want to hear about such a solution have not brought any alternative,” she adds, while also calling for an urgent “humanitarian pause” to the war raging in the Gaza Strip.
