Report: Cameron leans on Benjamin Netanyahu to pursue two-state solution

British Prime Minister David Cameron urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adhere to a policy that advances a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, The Guardian reported late Monday.

 

The British premier congratulated Netanyahu on his election victory while emphasizing that a peace agreement yielding a Palestinian state remained the best way to “achieve a lasting peace and to secure Israel’s long-term security and prosperity.”

 

According to The Guardian, Cameron “congratulated [Netanyahu] on winning the recent Israeli elections and looked forward to working with the new government when it was formed.”

 

Cameron told the British parliament that London would pressure both Israel and the Palestinian Authority to resume negotiations.
