He said for there to be a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, the two countries must return to the negotiation table.
Col. Aboagye faulted Israel for disregarding a number of international conventions by settling its citizens on conquered lands and taking control over the whole of Jerusalem.
Speaking with GBC News, Col. Aboagye said “the choices available to Israel now are limited and none of which is even favorable”, insisting that “…political solution is the only way out”.
