We regret the postponement of Palestinian legislative & presidential elections until September 2027. Palestinians must be able to elect their leaders. Credible, inclusive elections are vital for democratic legitimacy, accountability & the two-state solution.

Marking one year since the New York declaration, we gathered in a meeting chaired by the President of France, the Prime Minister of Canada, the Prime Minister of the UK and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia. Our central message: a just and lasting peace requires two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace, security and dignity. Finland remains firmly committed to the two-state solution as the only sustainable path to ending this conflict.

Vuosi sitten New Yorkissa tehtiin julistus kahden valtion mallista. Tänään kokoonnuimme Ranskan presidentin, Kanadan pääministerin, Ison-Britannian pääministerin ja Saudi-Arabian ulkoministerin johtamaan kokoukseen. Suomi on sitoutunut kahden valtion ratkaisuun. Se on ainoa kestävä tie konfliktin päättämiseksi.
