VILNIUS, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- As more Western countries recognize Palestinian statehood, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda has called on world leaders to revive discussions on a two-state solution, recognizing Palestine as a state and Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and Palestine, the Baltic News Service (BNS) reported on Wednesday.
In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York Tuesday evening Vilnius time, Nauseda also called for humanitarian aid blocked by Israel to be allowed into the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces continue to strike Hamas.
The Lithuanian president added that fighting in Gaza could move closer to an end if Hamas released the remaining hostages. ■
