The Arab League has urged the United Nations to deploy peacekeeping forces in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli-occupied West Bank until a two-state solution can be negotiated. This marks the first official request of its kind from the group. The deployment, however, would require approval from the U.N. Security Council and consent from both Israel and Hamas. The proposal was part of a broader statement issued after a summit dominated by discussion about the war in Gaza. The United Nations has expressed willingness to undertake measures towards peace and a cease-fire as called for by the Arab League. The U.S. has expressed concerns about potentially compromising Israel's security campaign. The Arab League reiterated its stance on a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders and called for the Council to set a time limit for its implementation. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that a two-state solution is the only permanent way to end the cycle of violence and instability in the region.
