U.S. Dissuades Global Attendance at UN Conference
The Trump administration is urging global governments to skip a UN conference on an Israel-Palestine two-state solution, cautioning repercussions for those supporting opposing stances. A U.S. cable warns that countries backing anti-Israel measures post-conference may face diplomatic fallout, reinforcing Washington's stance against recognizing a hypothetical Palestinian state.
The U.S. administration under President Donald Trump is actively deterring governments worldwide from participating in a United Nations conference scheduled next week in New York. The agenda centers on exploring a potential two-state resolution involving Israel and the Palestinians.
A recent communication, dated June 10, warns nations that actions perceived as anti-Israel following the conference will be interpreted as against U.S. foreign policy, potentially leading to diplomatic repercussions.
The cable underlines Washington's firm opposition to any unilateral actions aimed at recognizing a proposed Palestinian state, while the U.S. State Department remains silent on the issue, with no immediate comment provided.
