Israeli PM Lapid backs 'courageous' two-state solution with Palestinians • FRANCE 24 English

FRANCE24, 29 Sep 2022
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called on Thursday for a two-state solution to decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict and reasserted that Israel would do "whatever it takes" to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. His mention of a two-state solution, the first by an Israeli leader in years at the United Nations General Assembly, echoed U.S. President Joe Biden's support in Israel in August for the long-dormant proposal. For more on Israel's revived support for a two-state solution, FRANCE 24 is joined by Yossi Mekelberg, Professor of International Relations and Associate Fellow of the MENA Program at Chatham House. He says that Israeli PM Lapid is right and "courageous." He then goes on to explain how "the two-state solution is probably still the better option compared to the others that are possibly on the table."
