Ministers gather at UN for delayed meeting on Israel, Palestinians
- On July 28, 2025, ministers from more than 100 countries gathered at the United Nations to consider a two-state solution, despite the United States and Israel boycotting the meeting.
- The High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine, originally scheduled for June, was postponed due to a 12-day war between Israel and Iran and rescheduled to start on Monday.
- Despite 'tactical pauses' in Israeli operations, the conference occurs amid a 22-month war between Israel and Hamas, with Gaza's humanitarian crisis expected to dominate speeches by representatives of more than 100 countries.
- The US will not attend the conference, with a State Department spokesperson describing it as 'a gift to Hamas,' and Israel also abstained.
- French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said he will launch an appeal in New York culminating on September 21, expecting Arab countries to condemn Hamas and call for disarmament.

There is no alternative to resolving the chronic Israeli-Palestinian conflict other than a "two-state solution" - the formation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, so that they "live side by side in peace and security", France argued today at the UN headquarters in New York at the opening of an international conference on the subject, which is being boycotted by Israel and the US.
The head of French diplomacy was in line with Emmanuel Macron's announcements this Monday at the opening of an international conference at the UN calling for "concrete measures" for the emergence of a "sustainable Palestinian state".
