There was "virtual unanimity for the two-state solution as the only possible solution for the conflict between Israel and Palestine," Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira told journalists in Rio de Janeiro.

"Every (minister) that addressed the issue voiced support" for a two-state solution, "and it was a lot" of ministers, a Brazilian foreign ministry source told AFP.
