The United States “absolutely” supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but is thinking of new ways to advance towards a peace deal, US Ambassador Nikki Haley said Thursday.

“We absolutely support a two-state solution, but we are thinking out-of-the-box as well,” Haley told reporters following a Security Council meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
