US PUSHES 2-STATE SOLUTION TO ISRAELIS

Labels:

JERUSALEM: US Mideast envoy George Mitchell pressed the two-state solution on Thursday to sceptical officials in Israel, where hawkish new Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes a Palestinian state.
"US policy focuses on the two-state solution," Mitchell told reporters after holding talks in Jerusalem with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who has refused to endorse the US-sponsored Annapolis peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
In response, Lieberman said that "the peace process has reached a dead end" and that "the new (Israeli) government will have to formulate new ideas and approaches," according to a statement from his office.
"The traditional approach has so far led to no solutions or results," Lieberman said.
It marked the latest comments that could set Israel on a collision course with its most important ally, as Washington insists on the principle of a Palestinian state and Netanyahu refuses to endorse the plan.
Mitchell flew into Israel late Wednesday in his first trip to the region since Netanyahu assumed his post at the head of a largely right-wing cabinet that has sparked concern over the fate of troubled peace talks.
"In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we believe that the two-state solution, two states living side by side in peace, is the best and the only way to resolve this conflict," Mitchell said in Morocco on Tuesday.
