Israeli Prime Minister supports a two-state solution with the Palestinians
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called on Thursday for a two-state solution to Israel's decades-old conflict with the Palestinians and repeated that Israel would do "whatever it takes" to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.
His comments at the UN General Assembly align with US President Joe Biden's declaration of support for a two-state solution during his visit to Israel in August, and come after years of Israeli leaders avoiding any mention of the issue at the UN.
"The agreement with the Palestinians, on the basis of two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel's security, Israel's economy, and the future of our children," Lapid said, adding that any agreement would be conditional on a peaceful Palestinian state that would not threaten Israel.
