France & Saudi Arabia LEAD efforts for Palestinian Statehood | ‘2-State Solution’ in focus at the UN
France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York.
President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott.
European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue.
Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.
In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Hundreds of protesters flooded Manhattan on Saturday in solidarity with Palestinians, demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and the U.S. halt military aid to Israel. Over 200 organizations joined the rally, “Stop Starving Gaza: Mass March for Humanity,” raising alarms over starvation and child suffering. The protest echoed UN warnings of escalating famine in Gaza, as Israel announced new offensives and relocation plans. Meanwhile, Israeli families of hostages staged a strike, urging action after nearly two years of war.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to announce a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the September UN General Assembly, outlining borders and constitutional principles until a full constitution is passed. France, the UK, and other nations signal possible recognition, with President Macron pledging support. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has condemned the plan, urging Netanyahu to dismantle the PA. The move could mark a turning point in Palestine’s international recognition strategy, but risks sparking intense political backlash.

Amid nationwide protests and strikes in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed demonstrators for delaying a potential hostage release deal with Hamas. Thousands of Israelis blocked roads demanding a ceasefire and the return of hostages, while families accused Netanyahu of lying and prolonging the war. Netanyahu warned that ending the Gaza offensive now would embolden Hamas and risk another October 7. The Oct. 7 Council, representing hostage families and survivors, organized the strikes, intensifying pressure on the government as divisions deepen inside Israel.

The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation.
