Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen wants the international community to ‘enforce’ a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine.
She says this in an interview with Weekendavisen, which will be published on Friday.
Hamas does not want a two-state solution. And there is a government in Israel that directly opposes a two-state solution, she says.
“That’s why I don’t think there’s any other way than to force it through, and it’s not with the old means. We must separate the parties. And then we must be present there’.
The statements come out after Ritzau was able to describe on Tuesday that the Prime Minister was open to the possibility that military action can help to force the two-state solution through.
Here, Mette Frederiksen also said that she saw no end to the conflict, and that the international community must therefore step in and force the solution through.
Ritzau asked if it could ‘accommodate military action’, to which the prime minister replied ‘Yes, it can.’
On Thursday, Mette Frederiksen flatly denied that she was open to military action, even though she said so two days before.
Weekendavisen’s interview with the prime minister was conducted before the statements to Ritzau, but will only be published afterwards.
In the interview in Weekendavisen, however, Mette Frederiksen indicates that an effort must be made, which she does not define further, to separate the parties.
The Prime Minister is also asked in Weekendavisen whether this requires a military presence.
“I’m not supposed to design that, but I don’t think you should reject anything. I don’t think there is any other way,’ she replies.
Ritzau tries to get an in-depth comment from Mette Frederiksen.
