The proposal, which envisages Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital and a potential Palestinian state with restrictions while also recognising Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territory, has already been rejected by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as a “conspiracy”. Kumar said India has been “consistently supportive of the Palestinian cause” and called for a “two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue”.

He added, “We reiterate our view that the final status issues should be resolved through direct negotiations between the two parties. We urge the parties to engage with each other, including on the recent proposals put forward by the US, and find an acceptable two-state solution.”
