Calls for two-state solution for Israel, Palestinians at UN grow louder

France is doubling down on its push for a two-state solution, declaring it the only viable path forward for Israel and Palestine during a UN conference co-hosted with Saudi Arabia. Israel skipped the event, calling it a "stunt," while the US echoed that criticism. This comes just days after French President Macron vowed to recognize Palestinian statehood by September—a move that’s already sparked sharp pushback from Israel and Washington.
