"The parties discussed the US proposal for peace between Israelis and Palestinians and the situation in Iran and Yemen, the Foreign Minister stressed the need to reduce tensions in the region," the British Foreign Office said in a statement.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson supported the plan for a Middle East settlement proposed by US President Donald Trump. According to him, "the merit of this plan is that it offers a solution to the issue of two states."
On January 28, Trump presented his plan for a Middle East settlement, according to which Jerusalem becomes the indivisible capital of Israel, with the Palestinian capital being created in East Jerusalem. In addition, Israel gains sovereignty over the Jordan Valley.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the proposal, calling Trump's “deal of the century” a conspiracy.
