His appointment comes at a crucial time in the search for Middle East peace. There is an urgent need to return to negotiations for a two-state solution. The UK wants to see a viable, independent Palestinian state, based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, living in peace and security with Israel &#8211; with Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states and a just, fair and agreed settlement for refugees. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:8px;font-size:8pt;font-family:Verdana, san-serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">&#8220;I assured Prime Minister Hamdallah of the UK&#8217;s strong support for efforts to restart the peace process and our commitment to a two state solution.
