Egyptian ex-FM to Israel: If you want security, end occupation | Conflict Zone

As talks aiming to at least temporarily stop the fighting in Gaza proceed in Cairo, Egypt's previous Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy told DW that neither Israel nor Hamas will likely accept a long-term peace deal. But he added that given the human cost even a ceasefire and exchange of Palestinian detainees in Israel for the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th would be some progress. Fahmy, speaking to DW’s Sarah Kelly, said that the risk of wider conflict grows greater the longer violence in Gaza continues. He said the only way to find lasting peace is a two-state solution on the basis of 1967 borders and if that is not pursued, the militant Islamist group Hamas would continue to operate.
