UNITED NATIONS, United States -- Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas said Thursday there could be no peace in the Middle East without a two-state solution, sending a warning as Saudi Arabia considers recognizing Israel.
"Those who think that peace can prevail in the Middle East without the Palestinian people enjoying their full, legitimate national rights would be mistaken," Abbas told the UN General Assembly.
His address came a day after Netanyahu discussed Saudi normalization in a meeting with US President Joe Biden. Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, pointed to widely condemned recent remarks by Abbas who said that Nazi Germany killed Jews in the Holocaust not due to their religion, but because of their"social role."
A two-state solution"is the only viable solution," EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said afterward.
