Singapore emphasized the importance of upholding international law and respecting the rights of Palestinians. The statement reflects Singapore's consistent foreign policy stance advocating for a two-state solution and a just, lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, underpinned by security for both sides. They call for de-escalation and a return to meaningful negotiations.
