UK: Israeli-Palestinian 2-state solution almost dead

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4335730,00.html

Foreign Secretary William Hague says he condemns 'Israeli decisions to expand settlements,' that within a year a two-state solution will 'become impossible'

Britain said on Tuesday prospects for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are almost dead because of expanding Jewish settlement in 'occupied territory,' and warned Israel it was losing international support.

Foreign Secretary William Hague spoke as Israelis voted in an election likely to yield a hardline rightist government keener to thicken settlement on land where Palestinians want to establish statehood than seek peace.

"I condemn recent Israeli decisions to expand settlements. I speak regularly to Israeli leaders stressing our profound concern that Israel's settlement policy is losing it the support of the international community and will make a two-state solution impossible," he said.
