German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call that a two-state solution with the Palestinians is the only path to lasting peace in the region.
“From the view of the government, only a negotiated two-state solution would open up the prospect of a sustainable solution to the Middle East conflict. This must apply to both Gaza and the West Bank,” Scholz says, according to a statement issued by his spokesman.
