NEW DELHI: After US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a Middle East peace plan, which calls for a Palestine state with capital in eastern Jerusalem, India urged the Palestinians and Israelis to engage with each other and consider the US proposal, while reiterating its own support for a twostate solution which is acceptable to all. Trump’s peace plan was rejected by the Palestinians as it recognises Israeli settlements in the West Bank and proposes Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital.“As you are aware, India has been consistently supportive of the Palestinian cause. India has also called for a twostate solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue. We reiterate our view that the final status issues should be resolved through direct negotiations between the two parties and be acceptable to both,’’ said MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar. “We urge the parties to engage with each other, including on the recent proposals put forward by the US, and find an acceptable twostate solution for peaceful coexistence. We will continue to follow developments in the region and engage with the parties concerned,’’ he added.
