France and Saudi Arabia will today chair a meeting for the solution of the two states – an Israeli and a Palestinian – in which they will participate dozens of countries Many of which are expected to recognize the state of Palestine, a move that may cause a strong reaction to the US and Israel.

France leads these efforts, in the hope that the recognition A Palestinian state will provide a greater impetus to a movement in which smaller countries were recently involved.

Already yesterday, Sunday, Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal recognized a Palestinian state. France and five other countries are expected to do so today.

The session, which is being held Just before the start of the UN General Assemblyafter Israel has launched a wide, land, military operation against the city of Gaza, while the prospects for achieving a truce with Hamas seem to be minimal.

In the midst of the intensification of Israeli operations in Gaza and the escalation of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the sense of urgency to take action is increased, before the two states resort to being possible.

Some countries have pointed out that there will be terms and others that the normalization of diplomatic relations will be gradually dependent and dependent on how the Palestinian Authority will make its promises for reforms.

Israel stresses that it is opposed to this move and does not trust 89 -year -old Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that he will meet his commitments to reforms and modernization, as presented in a letter to Macron earlier this year.

Both Abbas and other Palestinian officials will take part in the Summit online, as the US, a staunch ally of Israel, refused to grant them a visa.

‘Circus’ the session says Israel

Israel and the US will boycott the meeting, Israeli ambassador to UN Dan Danon warned, describing it as a “circus”. “We don’t think it helps. We believe that it is actually rewarding terrorism, “he said on Thursday.

As a possible response, Israel examines the annexation of areas of the occupied West Bankbut also the taking measures against Parisas Israeli officials have pointed out.

And the US government has warned that there is a likely impact on countries taking measures against Israel, including France.

Earlier in September, the UN General Assembly approved a seven -page declaration describing “tangible, time binding and irreversible steps” to the solution of two states, while condemning Hamas and inviting her to surrender and disarm.

The criticisms of Israel and the US were immediate, with the two countries characterizing the proclamation of harmful and advertising gulf.

“The New York Declaration is not an indefinite promise for the distant future, but rather a roadmap that begins with the key priorities: a ceasefire, the release of hostages and the smooth entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza,”

“As soon as the ceasefire and the release of hostages are reached, the next step is a plan for the next day, which will be included in the Monday discussions,” he added.

Although the Palestinian president described the recognition of a Palestinian state “an important and necessary step towards achieving a just and enduring peace”, some diplomats are concerned about Israeli retaliation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will speak at the UN General Assembly on Friday, reiterated yesterday that there would be no Palestinian state and threatened to expand Israeli settlement on the occupied West Bank. At the same time, two far -right ministers of his government, Ithamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotric, are calling for the annexation of the area.

However, “we should not feel terrified by the risk of retaliation, because whatever we do, these actions will continue,” UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres insisted in an interview with AFP, referring to the war in Gaza and the “western” war.

According to Max Rodenbek of the International Crisis Group, every diplomatic effort to support Palestinian rights is “welcome” but without “specific measures” that accompany them, these recognitions are at risk of “distracting the reality, which is the accelerated elimination”.
