Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and former Palestinian Authority prime minister Salam Fayyad say parties must pursue a two-state solution after the current war ends.

..........

(Olmert) "My belief is that, number one, we have to appeal to the friends of Israel, to the European countries, to America first and foremost, but to Canada as well and say to them … If you want to have some kind of stability in this region, then we need to have an intervention military force that will take over at the end of the military operation of Israel," he said.

Olmert also said Israel does not want to occupy the Gaza strip and the Palestinian Authority should eventually re-take control of the region.

""We pulled out of Gaza in 2005. We don't want to keep it and we want to allow an international force for an interim period of time now," he said.
