Egyptian Islamic scholar Mohammad Salim Al-Awa, the former Secretary-General of the Qatar Based International Union for Muslim Scholars, discussed on a December 14, 2023, show on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) a possible two-state solution for Palestine. He said that such a solution could only be a temporary solution, because Palestine "in its entirety" belongs to the Arabs, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Mohammad Salim Al-Awa: "I am hearing the Americans talking now about the two-state solution. Many politicians also [talk about this]. I would like to say that if the two-state solution is realized, it will be a temporary solution. Palestine in its entirety is ours –from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Any intellectual or analyst who ignores or denies this fact ignores the facts of history and reality."
