He admitted at the same time that before this objective is achieved a transition period will be necessary in which several “authorities“, Including U.S and the UNestablish the conditions for the ANP can take responsibility for Link.

“I can’t imagine the Palestinian authority entering Gaza with Israeli tanks. But I recognize the concern Israel for safety“, said the secretary general.

Guterres stressed that he does not see a single-state solution as possible.in a country where there are millions of Palestinians who have no rights”.

“The only way out is a two-state solution,” he insisted.

On the other hand, he defended himself against accusations of prejudice against him by the Israeli Government, after saying that the attack Hamas against Israel October 7th “It doesn’t come from nothing, but from 56 years of occupation”.

“Unfortunately, there were some speakers, especially Israelis, who completely distorted my words, claiming that I did not condemn Hamas, which is not true, and that I tried to justify Hamas’ actions with these abuses, although I said exactly the opposite.”, he stressed.

No one can deny that”The Palestinian people suffer after 56 years of occupation, with the construction of settlements and the lack of hope for a Palestinian State”, insisted Guterres in his interview with ORF.

It must be possible to differentiate between Hamas, a group considered terrorist by the United States, and European Unionand the Palestinian people, the senior international official insisted.
