The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants in the caretaker government, Abdullah Bou Habib, after meeting with his Cypriot counterpart Konstantinos Kombos in Barcelona, noted that "there was consensus on the importance of the two-state solution to end the conflict in Palestine and on the centrality of the Palestinian issue for stability and peace in the Middle East." Ideas were exchanged on how to find a sustainable solution to the displacement crisis "that we both suffer from," and the necessity to work on a new approach to this challenge, especially after the increasing desire among new displaced individuals to reach Europe at any cost and settle there.
