The refusal of Israel to support the idea of creating a Palestinian state causes considerable disappointment. This was announced by the UK Minister of Defense, the Shappal Grant.
Noting that the whole world recognizes the "decision of the two states" as the best way forward, he expressed full support for the British government in this direction. According to Shapps, if Israel does not follow this approach, he does not see other options for resolving the conflict in the Gaza sector.
The Minister noted that the Palestinian state should have sovereignty on their part and guarantee safety on the Israeli side. His opinion reflects the overall mood at the international level about the need to create a Palestinian state.
This statement of Shapps Grant follows the statements of the shadow minister of the United Kingdom, David Lammi, who also supported the call of US President Joe Biden to resolve a conflict on the principle of two states.
The contradiction between Israel and the United States regarding the future Gaza sector is emphasized by a number of statements and plans from both parties. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken emphasized the inability of a long-term peace without the creation of a Palestinian state, while the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyaga opposes any Palestinian statehood that does not guarantee security of him. The interaction between the European Union and different countries that propose peace plans emphasizes the aggravation of the situation in the region.
