UN Summit Pushes for Palestinian Statehood

The UN General Assembly will hold a special summit on the Gaza war, furthering a French-Saudi initiative to revive the two-state solution. Several countries, including France and the UK, will join over 145 UN members recognizing a Palestinian state. This follows a UN report alleging Israeli genocide in Gaza, a claim Israel and the US deny. While some view state recognition as a symbolic gesture insufficient without further action, others see it as a diplomatic upgrade, strengthening Palestine's negotiating position and potentially influencing relations with Israel. The EU is also considering increased tariffs on Israeli goods and sanctions on Israeli officials.
