15 Countries Call for Gaza Ceasefire and Two-State Solution at UN Meeting

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 29 – The conference aims to restart peace talks by addressing Palestinian state recognition, Hamas disarmament, and Arab-Israeli normalization amid a 22-month Gaza conflict, UN officials said.

  • On Monday, France and Saudi Arabia launched the conference at the United Nations in New York, running July 28 to 30 and co-chaired by Riyadh and Paris.
  • The conference scheduled for June was postponed due to developments in the Middle East, amid ongoing violence and regional instability.
  • Focusing on the agenda, over 100 countries will participate in discussions on Palestinian Authority reform, Hamas disarmament, and Arab normalization, despite Israel and the US not attending.
  • The US State Department characterized the event as 'unproductive and ill-timed' and a 'publicity stunt,' as British MPs urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to recognize Palestine.
  • Ahead of the UN General Assembly week in September, UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged the conference to serve as a decisive turning point for a two-state solution.
