AMMONNEWS - The U.N. secretary-general has warned Arab leaders that their internal divisions have opened the door to foreign intervention and have helped breed sectarianism and terrorism ,Associated Press published .
Antonio Guterres told an Arab summit Wednesday that while fighting terrorism is essential, 'any success will prove ephemeral' without a political solution to Syria's 6-year-old civil war that allows Syrians to decide their own fate.
He said efforts to end conflicts in Syria, Yemen and Libya must 'not distract us from seeking to heal the longest open wound in the region, the plight of the Palestinian people.'
Guterres said setting up a Palestinian state alongside Israel is the only solution to the conflict. He says Israeli settlements on war-won land are illegal, and called on Israel to halt construction.
