The U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated, on Monday in Marrakech, the commitment of the Obama administration to a two-solution solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

   Mrs Clinton made the statement shortly before a meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister, Taib Fassi Fihri, on the sidelines of the sixth session of the Forum for the Future, which is taking place in Marrakech on November 2-3.

    The forum opened on Monday at the level of experts, under the co-chairmanship of Morocco as the hosting country and Italy, in its capacity as the acting president of the G8.
