Mladenov: Gaza and West Bank escalation hinder peace
The High Representative of the Peace Council, Nikolaus Mladenov, stated that the escalation in Gaza and the West Bank makes a two-state solution impossible. He explained that continued violence and the deteriorating situation—including Israel’s control over more than 50% of Gaza and the rising violence in the West Bank—hinder the achievement of a lasting political solution. He also emphasized that implementing the negotiated ceasefire plan is the only way to restore hope for a two-state solution, but Israel is imposing preconditions, most notably the full disarmament of Hamas. He pointed out that the escalation dangerously hampers the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state within recognized borders, deepening the crisis and delaying the resolution of the conflict.
