In a resolution adopted in December, the General Assembly in favor of credible negotiations on the Middle East peace process, had decided to convene in New York in New York this “International Conference Palestine and the implementation of the solution of the two states “, giving its presidency to Paris and Riyadh.

About 150 countries recognize the state of Palestine, which is involved as an observer in the United Nations, but not as a full member due to the absence of a positive vote of the Security Council on the matter.
In May 2024, Ireland, Norway and Spain recognized Palestine and the following month was recognized by Slovenia, but most western countries, of which France, have not taken this step.
French President Emmanuel Macron had said in April that he wanted to seize the opportunity of this conference in New York to begin a series of Palestinian recognitions, “but also Israel’s recognition by states that are not doing so today.”
