US EditionUN conference on Palestinian state postponed because of Middle East tensions
- A UN event, jointly organized by France and Saudi Arabia to outline a plan for a two-state solution, has been delayed amid rising tensions following Israel’s recent military strike on Iran.
- The postponement followed Israel’s airstrikes targeting Iran’s underground nuclear site and came amid some Middle Eastern delegations’ inability to attend for security and logistical reasons.
- French President Emmanuel Macron expressed determination to recognize a Palestinian state and emphasized the aim of a demilitarized state excluding Hamas leaders, while affirming Israel’s security needs.
- The U.S. urged countries including Ireland not to participate, warning that recognizing Palestine and supporting boycotts or sanctions against Israel could harm diplomatic relations and U.S. interests.
- Despite the delay and U.S. pressure, Ireland confirmed full participation and Macron said the conference would be rescheduled promptly to continue advancing the two-state solution.
