Israel, Palestine must avoid unilateral action that could prejudice final status issues: India at U.N.

Reiterating that only a two-state solution will deliver enduring peace that the people of Israel and Palestine deserve, India has said this should be achieved through direct negotiations between both sides on final status issues and any unilateral action which could prejudice these issues must be avoided. India’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N. Ambassador K. Nagaraj Naidu said on Feb. 26 at the U.N. Security Council meeting on ‘The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question’ that New Delhi reaffirms its support to the Palestinian cause and the establishment of a sovereign, viable and independent State of Palestine living side by side in peace and security with Israel.
