US Working With Saudi Arabia, Egypt On Two-State Solution For Israel And Palestine
Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
The U.S. is backing a peace plan involving Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other Arab states for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. The plan proposes a pathway towards a two-state solution and the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The Israeli government has rejected a separate peace deal, with Prime Minister Netanyahu insisting on a total victory over Hamas. The EU and UN have called for a ceasefire and a two-state solution. The iShares MSCI Israel ETF (EIS) and the ARK Israel Innovative Technology ETF (IZRL) have both recovered from losses incurred after the October attacks, with EIS up 5% and IZRL up 1.1% on Monday.
