The term "two-state solution" is sometimes mentioned in the news in the context of the affairs of

A
China
B
Israel
Correct answer
C
Iraq
D
Yemen

Explanation

The "two-state solution" is the primary diplomatic framework intended to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by establishing an independent State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel. While countries like Iraq or Yemen face severe internal sectarian divisions, the specific terminology of a "two-state solution" is exclusively associated with the international peace process in the Levant rather than federalist debates in other Middle Eastern nations. This question tests the core concept of major geopolitical frameworks and long-standing international conflict resolution strategies.
