Mette Frederiksen says that she does not see an end to the conflict in the region unless a two-state solution is forced through.

In response to a question from Ritzau about whether it could involve a military intervention, the Prime Minister replies:

Yes, it could.

Mette Frederiksen says that the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel has reached a point where neither side is acting rationally or pragmatically, and that the whole world has become trapped in the vicious spiral that has been created.

They have not only caught their own countries and populations in this, but actually all of us as well, says Mette Frederiksen, and continues:

I think the price has become too high for all of us.

A two-state solution is therefore the only solution that can create a lasting and stable peace.

It can only happen if the international community someday says that now we are forced to impose it.

Frederiksen does not want to go further into how a military intervention would be carried out or under what mandate.

I don't think you can define it exactly. The international community has, after all, intervened in other conflicts and wars and imposed things. I don't think you can create an exact template, she says.
