Arab League chief says Mideast peace requires two-state solution

Head of the Cairo-based Arab League Ahmed Abul Gheit said Thursday that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would require a two-state solution, responding to comments by U.S. President Donald Trump a day earlier that signaled Washington could drop that demand.


Abul Gheit affirmed that the conflict "requires a comprehensive and just peace based on a two-state solution with an independent Palestinian state," a statement said after he met UN chief Antonio Guterres in Cairo.

Guterres had also called for a two-state solution on Wednesday in a speech in Cairo, saying there was "no Plan B".

The Arab League statement said he and Abul Gheit "agreed that the two-state solution remains the real way to achieving" peace.
