Middle East Israeli Prime Minister Rapid addressed the United Nations General Assembly, stating that "two nations for two peoples are best for Israel" on the stalled Palestinian peace process.

It is unusual in recent years for an Israeli prime minister to express support for the coexistence of two nations at the United Nations General Assembly.

At the United Nations General Assembly on the 22nd, after the parliament was dissolved, Prime Minister Lapid, who is serving as a temporary worker, made a speech.



In this, Prime Minister Lapid said, "Two nations for two peoples are the best for Israel's security and economy," regarding the Palestinian peace negotiations that have been stalled since 2014.



In addition, he emphasized that "the future Palestinian state must be a peaceful one," and urged the Islamic organization Hamas and others to stop armed attacks.

With regard to the Palestinian peace process, the right-wing administration continues in Israel, and the expansion of Jewish settlements is progressing.



In Israel, the far-right political party appealing for the exclusion of Palestinians is expanding its support ahead of the general election in November, and the future focus will be on how the election results will affect Palestinian policy.
