Israel’s ambassador to the UK ruled out the possibility of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Anadolu Agency reports.

“I think it’s about time for the world to realize the Oslo paradigm failed on Oct 7 and we need to build a new one,” said Tzipi Hotovely in an interview with Sky News.

“Israel knows today and the world should know now that the reason the Oslo Accords failed was because the Palestinians never wanted to have a state next to Israel, they want to have a state from the river to the sea,” she added.

Hotovely asked the interviewer, Mark Austin, why he was “obsessed” with the two-state solution after he asked her whether it was dead.
