«We will not stay silent and doom Palestinians to starvation and massacre. We are now facing a spillover of the conflict to Lebanon, and we do not know if it will go beyond,» Fidan told a G20 foreign ministers meeting in New York, speaking on the heels of massive Israeli wireless device attacks and bombardments that have killed hundreds of people and injured many thousands in Lebanon.

«Thus, we are in a phase of huge risk of wider conflict,” he warned.

If Israel’s «annihilation» of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, continues «relentless,» Fidan said the broader effect on regional stability and international order will be «inevitable.»

Stressing that this «is leading to an erosion» of the international system that gets worse every day, Fidan said that a «full-fledged, functioning» Palestinian state is «the only way» to ensure peace in the Middle East.

«We should strengthen our efforts towards a two-state solution,» he told the G20 foreign ministers.
