Washington: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that Israel must accept a pathway to a Palestinian state, under conditions, as part of a long-term deal on the Gaza war.
"Israel will have to accept reuniting Gaza and the West Bank under the leadership of a reformed PA," Blinken said referring to the Palestinian Authority, and "must embrace a time-bound, conditions-based path toward forming an independent Palestinian state."
