US envoy George Mitchell met Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Wednesday, reiterating that the two-state solution was the only viable answer to the Middle East conflict.
"The president of the United States (Barack Obama) and Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton) have made our policy clear - the only viable resolution to this conflict is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states," Mitchell told reporters after the meeting in Ramallah.
"As President Obama said last week, America will not turn... (its) back on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity and a state of their own," he said, referring to Obama's address to the Muslim world.
