Support for Palestine’s recognition was echoed by various nations.
Dozens of ministers convened at a United Nations conference to push for a two-state resolution between Israel and Palestine. The event, skipped by the U.S. and Israel, was initially planned for 2025 but was brought forward due to ongoing strife.
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud implored countries to back the roadmap for Palestinian statehood, while Antonio Guterres, U.N. Secretary-General, emphasized the significance of decisive progress. France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot highlighted the urgency, as conflict in Gaza endangers regional stability.
The Palestinian leadership called for immediate recognition of Palestine, arguing peace begins with recognizing its sovereignty. Despite calls for unity, the U.S. and Israel boycotted the gathering, citing concerns over its impact on the peace prospects and emphasizing Hamas-related issues.
