Major powers insist on two-state solution at summit

Some 70 countries today reaffirmed that only a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians could resolve the conflict and warned that they would not recognise any unilateral steps taken by either side that could prejudge negotiations.


The final communique of a Middle East peace conference held in Paris shied away explicitly from criticising plans by US President-elect Donald Trump to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, but said a new conference would be held by year-end for interested parties.

Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians participated in the summit itself.
