48942 (2025). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Does the Minister consider that there is no two-state solution without recognition of Palestine as a state?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: New Zealand's longstanding position is that a two-state solution with secure and recognised borders for both Israel and Palestine is the best path for a durable and lasting peace. There should be a Palestinian state, and we want to see Israelis and Palestinians living peacefully side-by-side.
