G20 Foreign Ministers unanimously support two-state solution to Palestine to end Gaza bloodshed

Foreign ministers at the G20 group’s meeting in Brazil were unanimous in their support for a two-state solution as the only way to peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“There was virtual unanimity in the two-state solution as the only solution to the conflict,” Mauro Vieira, Brazil’s foreign minister said at the conclusion of the two-day meeting.

He said all members of the G20 group of the world’s largest economies highlighted concerns about the war in Gaza and the risk of the conflict spreading in the Middle East.

Vieira said that there were calls for a ceasefire and access to Gaza for humanitarian aid, while “many” countries criticised Israel’s military offensive in Rafah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing coalition government largely reject the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Still, Washington, Israel’s main ally, maintains that the two-state solution is the only feasible way to bring lasting peace to the region, but has rebuffed calls by some countries, including Brazil, for an immediate ceasefire.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he found “commonality” with G20 members on Gaza, despite the US vetoing a UN Security Council resolution on the conflict this week for the third time, reflecting growing international frustration with US support for Israel.

At a news conference after the G20 meeting, Blinken said ending the conflict was a common goal and the way to achieve that was through an agreement the US is helping to broker between Israel and Hamas on the release of hostages.
