France and Saudi Arabia to hold a conference on Palestine at the UN

French President Emmanuel Macron said that Paris and Riyadh will lead an international conference on the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at the United Nations. He announced this on September 2 on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

The event will be held in New York on September 22 and will be aimed at mobilizing support for the two-State solution.

"Our goal is clear: to mobilize the broadest possible international support for a two—state solution, the only way to meet the legitimate aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians," Macron stressed.

The French leader also criticized the US decision not to issue visas to Palestinian officials, calling it "unacceptable," and called for their presence at the meeting. According to Macron, the conference should be "a decisive turning point on the path to peace and security for all in the region."
