Today, Tuesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh briefed an American delegation on the situation and developments in the Palestinian territories, and the escalation of occupation violations against our people.

During the meeting, which was held in his office in Ramallah, the Prime Minister said, "The conflict over Palestine is based on the zero-sum game, meaning that every meter of land that Israel seizes, Palestine loses, and every liter of water that Israel steals is a liter of water that we lose, and our people face it daily." A painful reality of raids, arrests and killings.

Shtayyeh added, "The entire international community, even the United States, calls for and believes in a two-state solution, but Israel does not want this solution and works to destroy it systematically daily through its unilateral measures, and wants to continue imposing irreversible facts."

And the Prime Minister continued, "The two-state solution must be preserved, and if it is missed, the facts on the ground indicate a tendency and a slide towards a single state that will be an apartheid state in reality and legislation, which was indicated by recent reports issued by many international and Israeli human rights organizations."

Shtayyeh called on the American administration to put pressure on Israel to stop all its unilateral measures towards our people, to allow Palestinian elections to be held in Jerusalem, as stipulated in the signed agreements, and to ensure that our people participate in them as candidates and elections.
