He emphasized the importance of collective efforts to solidify the ceasefire agreement and build upon it to create real prospects for a fair and comprehensive solution that ensures the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution. This, he stated, is the only path to achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region.
