A Jordanian official highlights Israel’s absence from today’s UN conference on a two-state solution.
While Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa is present, Israel sent no delegation to engage with peace proposals or represent its position.
“The Palestinians are ready to negotiate today,” claims Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s deputy foreign minister. “But we do not have an Israeli partner to negotiate with.”
He adds that since the Israelis “are not willing to sit at the table and negotiate a two state solution,” then “they cannot veto us from doing what we all believe in and recognize the Palestinian state as a statement of commitment to that solution.”
