Paris: There is "no alternative" to a two-state solution between Israelis and the Palestinians, France declared at a United Nations conference co-chaired with Saudi Arabia. The statement underscores France's commitment to resolving the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict through diplomatic means and international cooperation.
According to France24.com, the declaration comes just days after French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to formally recognize a State of Palestine in September. This move is seen as a significant step towards advancing the peace process in the Middle East. For further insights, FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney engaged with Dr. Gershon Baskin, Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Alliance for Two States. Dr. Baskin, who also serves as the Middle East Director of the International Communities Organisation, has been an advisor to Israeli, Palestinian, and international leaders on the Middle East Peace Process.
The conference served as a platform for reinforcing the international community's support for a two-state solution, emphasizing its importance as the most viable path to lasting peace in the region. The involvement of both France and Saudi Arabia highlights the critical role of global partnerships in addressing the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
