Ramallah, MINA – Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh today called on the Republic of Singapore to recognize the state of Palestine in order to protect the two-state solution.

He stressed that Israel’s measures kill any opportunities for establishing the Palestinian state, adding that the realities on the ground are gradually deteriorating.
