UNITED NATIONS, United States — Fired by France’s imminent recognition of Palestinian statehood, UN members meet next week to breathe life into the push for a two-state solution as Israel, expected to be absent, presses its war in Gaza.
Days before the July 28-30 conference on fostering Israeli and Palestinian states living peacefully side-by-side to be co-chaired by Riyadh and Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would formally recognize the State of Palestine in September.His declaration “will breathe new life into a conference that seemed destined to irrelevance,” said Richard Gowan, an analyst at International Crisis Group.“Macron’s announcement changes the game.
‘No alternative’ The meeting comes as a two-state solution is “more threatened than it has ever been even more necessary than before, because we see very clearly that there is no alternative,” said a French diplomatic source.
