US EditionSummit on Palestinian Statehood Planned for September: Diplomatic Source
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The rescheduled UN conference will focus on postwar Gaza reconstruction and advancing Palestinian state recognition with France and Saudi Arabia leading efforts, diplomats said.
- France and Saudi Arabia will co-host a rescheduled United Nations conference on July 28-29 in New York to discuss Gaza reconstruction and Palestinian state recognition.
- The conference was postponed from mid-June due to the 12-day Israel-Iran air war and U.S. pressure, which complicated attendance by Arab representatives.
- France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot stated that the meeting’s purpose is to discuss plans for Gaza after the conflict and to lay the groundwork for France and other nations to acknowledge Palestinian statehood.
- Barrot highlighted that France would not proceed with recognition on its own, while Macron's anticipated absence diminishes the prospects for major declarations amid opposition from partners including the U.K. and Canada.
- The conference could advance recognition efforts and promote Israeli integration with Arab states following Trump-era accords, while a two-state solution remains a central topic.
