Le Drian has also clarified in the letter that France is committed to working towards achieving a just and lasting settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on a two-state solution in accordance with international law and standards agreed on, and that this solution for France will remain the only path that can meet the aspirations of Palestinians and the Israelis in two states living side by side in safe and recognized borders on the basis of the 1967 borders. Furthermore, Le Drian has clarified that he has called on the Israeli authorities in order to refrain from any unilateral decision, which would result in annexing any part of the Palestinian territories.
