Meeting Netanyahu, Guterres recalls past secret talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders at his office when he was prime minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002, saying it had exposed him to the difficulties of the peace process.
The UN secretary general holds talks with Israeli leaders Monday on his first visit since taking office, making a forceful argument for a two-state solution with the Palestinians and speaking of his “dream” for peace.
“I dream that I will have the chance to see in the Holy Land two states able to live together in mutual recognition, but also in peace and security,” Guterres says in remarks at Netanyahu’s office.
Guterres also speaks of improving economic and social conditions for Palestinians to provide them with a “dividend” and incentive for peace.
