A UN Security Council session on the Middle East heard France, Bahrain and the US restate support for the two-state solution and outline positions on Gaza.
- Bahrain's UN envoy Jamal Faris Al-Ruwaie said no comprehensive regional peace is possible without the two-state solution, backing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.
- France's Jérôme Bonnafont warned the two-state solution could disappear and said settlement expansion and settler violence constitute an annexation policy violating international law.
- Bonnafont said Hamas must disarm, Israel must withdraw, and a Palestinian committee should administer Gaza.
- US Deputy Ambassador Tammy Bruce said Washington rejects and opposes Israeli annexation of the West Bank and said Hamas should have no role in governing Gaza.
