Briefing ambassadors of the UN Security Council member countries at the UN Headquarter in New York on Tuesday, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle-East Peace Process Sigrid Kaag said the Middle East can achieve peace and a future where a safe and secure Israel exists alongside a viable and independent Palestinian state.

This will require a concerted effort, dedication, and political courage on the part of all parties, she said.
