Berlin : German Chancellor Angela Merkel epxressed reservation about prospects for a two-state solution in the Middle East.
Talking at a news conference in Berlin on Wednesday, Merkel acknowledged it would be “very very difficult” to have a two-state solution in the Mideast.
The German leader stressed she was “not very satisfied” with the latest developments in the Middle East peace process.
She reiterated there was “no other reasonable alternative” to a two-state settlement of the Palestinan-Israeli conflict.
Merkel urged also direct talks between both sides despite what she branded as some “extremely difficult problems.”
The chancellor pointed out that Israeli settlements and the Palestinian refugee crisis remained “the most serious problems” in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East.
She called on both parties to seek a compromise in the conflict, saying Palestinians and Israelis had yet to overcome major hurdles.
