Arab League urges UN peacekeepers for Palestine
The Arab League has formally proposed deploying UN peacekeeping forces in Gaza and the West Bank until a two-state solution is achieved.
The call, made during a summit in Bahrain, demands the UN Security Council set a timeline for the peace process.
However, actual deployment faces hurdles, including Security Council approval and consent from Israel and Palestinian factions.
The UN Secretary-General has endorsed the two-state solution as the sole path to ending violence.
Meanwhile, the US has expressed concerns over the proposal, fearing it could impact Israel’s security strategy.
The Arab League reiterated the pre-1967 borders as the basis for the solution and urged the council to act swiftly.
Talks for a cease-fire in Gaza face complexities, with ongoing debates on governance and prisoner exchanges in the aftermath of war.
