At a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East situation, Sarah MacIntosh, Britain's Permanent Representative to the UN, delivered a statement. She emphasized that the United Kingdom consistently advocates for a two-state solution—Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security. According to the diplomat, London continues to work closely with international partners to achieve a long-term resolution of the conflict that would ensure security for both Israelis and Palestinians. MacIntosh noted that the British side views diplomatic efforts within the UN framework as an important instrument for achieving sustainable peace in the region. The statement came against the backdrop of ongoing international discussion about ways to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of the UN Security Council in this process. Britain traditionally supports the "two-state" concept as the basis for a peaceful settlement, emphasizing the need to take into account the interests of both sides of the conflict. The British representative reaffirmed her country's intention to continue participating in collective international efforts aimed at ending violence and creating conditions for stable coexistence between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.
