A United Nations conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed at advancing a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, was initially scheduled for mid-June 2025 in New York but was postponed due to escalating tensions in the Middle East following Israel's military attack on Iran. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the postponement citing logistical and security concerns, emphasizing that the conference would be held as soon as possible. The event has now been rescheduled for July 28-29, 2025, with France and Saudi Arabia continuing to co-chair the conference under the auspices of the UN. The conference is expected to focus on the post-war situation in Gaza and preparations for the recognition of a Palestinian state. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot is set to attend the upcoming meeting, which aims to implement the two-state solution framework.
