UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that recent developments in the Middle East could create "an irreversible one-state reality" that would bury the two-state solution of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

"Negative trends on the ground have the potential to create an irreversible one-state reality that is incompatible with realizing the legitimate national, historic and democratic aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians," Guterres on Monday told a UN meeting of a committee on Palestinian rights.

The Middle East peace process was upended when US President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The General Assembly adopted a resolution last month rejecting the US decision by a vote of 128 to nine with 35 abstentions.

The United States has also cut back its funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), prompting Guterres to appeal to countries to step in to fill the gap.

Israel's ongoing construction of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, violent attacks and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza are dimming prospects for a long-term peace, said the UN chief.

"There is no Plan B," Guterres told the meeting.

Meanwhile, Indian foreign ministry said on Monday Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet the Palestinian leader during a brief tour of the Middle East just weeks after hosting Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Indian premier will visit Ramallah first on his three-day tour of the region between February 9 and 12, which will also take in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
