US remains committed to achieving a two-state solution along 1967 lines for the Israel-Palestine conflict, a senior US official says, underlining so-called Abraham Accords have no bearing on the dispute
Biden administration remains committed to the solution along the 1967 lines"with mutually agreed swaps," says a senior US official, stressing so-called Abraham Accords have no bearing on the conflict.
"We remain committed to rebuilding our bilateral relationship with the Palestinian people, with the US president's [Joe Biden] goal of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict along the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps," said Hady Amr, US deputy assistant secretary for Israeli and Palestinian affairs, on Thursday.
The 1967 lines refer to the truce lines from before the Six Day War, when Israel defeated the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, capturing Gaza from Egypt, Golan Heights from Syria and snatching away the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan. The two-state solution, which Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid supported during his recent UN General Assembly speech, sees wide international support but has long been opposed by extremist Israeli prime ministers and far-right Jewish groups.Regarding the so-called Abraham Accords and normalisation of ties with Israel, Amr said the US wants to see a more integrated Middle East with the inclusion of Palestine.
Announced and signed in 2020, the accords allowed United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and later Morocco to normalise their ties with Israel.In an earlier session, former executive director of the Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth said the US and the West's endless re-endorsement of the two-state solution won't make it remotely possible due to Israel’s illegal activities in the occupied West Bank.
