Macron not expected to attend UN summit on two-state solution for Palestine and Israel
Briefly

A UN summit addressing a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine has been rescheduled for July 28 and 29. French President Emmanuel Macron is not expected to attend, reducing the possibility of major announcements on Palestinian state recognition. Macron, advocating for this recognition during a recent Anglo-French summit, noted the imperative of a two-state solution for regional peace. However, ongoing conflicts, particularly between Hamas and Israel, complicate advancement on this front. Both Israel and the United States oppose recognition, claiming it could reward terrorism.
French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that a two-state solution is the sole means to achieve peace and stability in the region, emphasizing that recognition of Palestine should be prioritized.
The upcoming UN summit has been rescheduled to 28 and 29 July, yet French President Macron's absence diminishes the likelihood of significant announcements regarding Palestinian state recognition.
