President Jacob Zuma says a solution to the conflict in the Middle East between Israelis and Palestinians is more possible now than ever before.

President Zuma was addressing the South African Jewish Board of Deputies conference in Sandton.

He said the only viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was one that ended the occupation that began in 1967.

The President says the aspirations of both parties should be fulfilled for independent homelands through two states for two peoples: Israel and an independent, adjoining and viable state of Palestine.
