France & Saudi Arabia LEAD efforts for Palestinian Statehood | ‘2-State Solution’ in focus at the UN
France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York.
President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott.
European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue.
Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.
U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution.
Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood.

India is set to participate in the UN high-level conference addressing the Palestine question and the two-state solution, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia... IndiaTimes
In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.

Iran has lashed out at European powers after they moved to reimpose UN snapback sanctions, branding the move “illegal, illegitimate, and politically motivated.” In a stern warning, Tehran hinted at a possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if pressure continues to mount. Iranian officials accused the West of breaking promises and warned that continued provocation could trigger a major escalation in its nuclear posture.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through global diplomacy, French President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to officially recognize a Palestinian state — a decision seen by critics as aligning with Hamas and directly challenging the United States and former President Donald Trump. Macron’s declaration comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Is France entering the Middle East war? What does this mean for NATO, Israel, and the broader West? From failed Western coordination to rising pressure inside France, this is the story behind Macron’s explosive pivot — and the global consequences it could unleash.
Stay tuned for full analysis, exclusive footage, and expert commentary.

Western Gripen fighter jets — believed to be Swedish-made and NATO-linked — reportedly thundered through Thai airspace to carry out strikes on Cambodian military positions. The alleged aerial bombardment marks a dramatic new phase in the escalating Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the disputed Preah Vihear region. Unconfirmed reports suggest U.S. backing for Thailand’s military posture — raising questions about Donald Trump's growing global military footprint.
After igniting an inferno in the Middle East with Israel-Iran tensions, is Trump now fueling a second front in Southeast Asia? Meanwhile, Kremlin sources have gone quiet, and ASEAN is scrambling to contain what could spiral into a full-blown regional war. Macron has demanded de-escalation. Zelensky has called for urgent talks. But Trump? He’s reportedly “watching the situation closely.” Will this be another proxy war with global players lurking in the shadows?

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?

A bright red life-size sculpture of Donald Trump has mysteriously appeared in Manhattan, showing the former president emerging from a manhole with a small red rat beside him. French artist James Colomina, known for provocative red installations, said the piece, titled “Make America Grime Again,” symbolizes disruption and decay. Installed secretly near the iconic News Building, the work contrasts Trump’s legendary New York roots with a grotesque sewer image. The White House responded mockingly, suggesting the artist “go back to the drawing board—or art school.”

The Al-Qassam Brigades have released dramatic footage showing the targeting of three Israeli armored personnel carriers (APCs) in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis. According to their statement, two APCs were hit with explosive devices during martyrdom operations, while a third was struck with a Yassin-105 shell. Following the ambush, a military excavator was seen attempting to bury the burning vehicles, possibly to prevent further explosions or recovery.
Helicopters later landed to evacuate the casualties. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of three soldiers and acknowledged several injuries in the attack. The strike represents a significant escalation in the eastern Khan Yunis front, highlighting the continued intensity and evolving tactics of Palestinian resistance. The footage has since gone viral, further fueling tensions and drawing global attention to the relentless warfare in the Gaza Strip as Israeli ground units suffer direct hits deep inside contested areas.

Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline. Germany’s Chancellor Merz hinted at a coordinated Middle East policy, fueling speculation of a NATO split. As public protests grow across Europe, E3 leaders are pressured to take a tougher stance on Gaza, potentially exposing U.S.–Israel hypocrisy on the conflict.

Trump has ignited global shockwaves by acknowledging the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating, “That’s real starvation… you can’t fake that.” His comments stand in stark contrast to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s firm denial that starvation exists in Gaza, claiming, “There is no policy of starvation, and there is no starvation.” As images of malnourished children and collapsing aid systems circulate worldwide, Trump’s unexpected remarks raise serious questions: Is Israel hiding the true scale of the crisis?
