PARIS, May 24  — France\u2019s foreign minister warned Sunday of the risk of \u201clong-lasting apartheid\u201d in Israel if the Palestinian people fail to obtain their own state, reported Anadolu Agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days after Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas agreed to a truce brokered by Egypt in which France also played a role, Jean-Yves Le Drian hoped that the cessation of hostilities would continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We must initiate a policy of small steps. We must ensure that there is a logic of trust that can be established between the two camps…leading to a two-state solution,” he said while appearing on the LCI TV channel, noting it is the only solution to rule out “a risk of apartheid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to the recent violent confrontations between Jews and Muslims in Israeli cities, Le Drian said he was worried for the first time to see the two communities clash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alluding to former US President Donald Trump\u2019s staunch pro-Israel policy under which Washington formally recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and pushed for a peace plan, he added there was a perception that the conflict between Israel and Palestine would end soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Those who thought that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would gradually be extinguished were mistaken. It shows the urgency of finding a political process,” he said, underlining the crucial need for a resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, he warned, \u201cwe would then have the ingredients of long-lasting apartheid…if we continue to adopt a logic of one state or the status quo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
