Israeli politicians urge the EU and UK to acknowledge the Palestinian state for regional peace.
A group of eminent Israeli public personalities, including former ambassadors and academics, has asked European Union countries and the United Kingdom to recognize a Palestinian state immediately, citing historic justice values and the necessity for regional peace. Alon Liel, former Director of Israel's Foreign Ministry and ambassador to South Africa and one of the letter's signatories, underlined the necessity of diplomatic solutions above military action in dealing with Israel's current issues. He expressed concern about Israel's international reputation and the potential consequences of taking a military approach. Alon raised concern over recent developments, such as Egypt's apparent backing for a genocide lawsuit against Israel, warning that it could have serious diplomatic ramifications for Israel's Middle Eastern relations.
As Ukraine commemorates two years since the Russian invasion, four Western leaders are in the city.

Joining Al Jazeera live from New Delhi is Theresa Fallon, Senior Fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Director of The Center for Russia Europe Asia Studies.
