President Isaac Herzog delivered a speech at a joint press conference in Estonia's capital, Tallinn, alongside his counterpart Alar Karis. "We are in the midst of a very severe crisis in the Middle East. October 7 cast a heavy shadow over the region and set back Israeli thinking on the two-state solution," he said. Herzog praised "Estonia's pragmatic approach regarding the two-state solution: "The idea of two states now will not help any Palestinian. It will make people more frustrated, will be perceived as a reward for terrorism, and I appreciate Estonia's pragmatic approach."
