Ireland has supported a two state solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict since 1980, and for many years now this has been the overwhelming consensus of the international community. I believe that the two state solution, however difficult it may be to achieve, is the best way to achieve a peaceful future between Israelis and Palestinians in the space they share.
I believe the two-state solution can be achieved, if there is the political will to bring it about.
