by Reuters

   CAIRO --

   Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said on Thursday that
   the Palestinian-Israeli conflict required a two-state solution, a day
   after the UnitedStates backed away from its commitment to Palestinian
   statehood.

   "It requires a comprehensive and just settlement based on a two-state
   solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on
   ... 1967 borders with its capital in Jerusalem," Egypt's state news
   agency quoted Aboul Gheit as
   saying after meeting the U.N chief Antonio Guterres in Cairo.
