DAVOS (dpa-AFX) – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken once again advocated for a two-state solution to the Gaza war at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Many Arab and Muslim countries have recently changed their attitude towards Israel and are now interested in stable relations, he said on Wednesday in the Swiss ski resort. However, a lasting solution for the region includes the vision of a Palestinian state. Otherwise, Israel will not have any real security.
“Of course this requires very difficult and challenging decisions,” Blinken said. The United States does not claim to make these decisions for others. Israel must decide in which direction it wants to develop. The region is at a geostrategic turning point. “And when you reach a tipping point, you have to make tough decisions,” Blinken said. Of course, such a development is not possible overnight, but it must be initiated as quickly as possible./tam/DP/jha
