German Chancellor Olaf Scholz communicated to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a two-state solution with Palestinians, applying to both Gaza and the West Bank, is the only path to peace in the Middle East. A phone call between the two leaders revealed this stance. The US State Department is reportedly considering recognising a Palestinian state once the current war ends, which would mark a policy shift. This is complicated by Netanyahu's rejection of such solutions. UK's Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, following meetings with Israeli officials and the Palestinian Authority, also reiterated the need for a two-state solution, cautioning that Israel faced a 'story of failure' without it.
