French President Emmanuel Macron remains committed to the two-state solution, despite logistical challenges exacerbated by regional conflict.

A high-stakes United Nations conference, planned to facilitate a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, has been postponed. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the decision after Israel initiated a significant military offensive against Iran, intensifying regional tensions.

Macron affirmed that the postponement will not deter efforts to implement the two-state solution. Despite logistical challenges, exacerbated by the escalating conflict, France remains determined to recognize the State of Palestine.

The conference, initially scheduled for mid-June in New York, was set to establish a roadmap for a Palestinian state and ensure Israeli security. However, U.S. diplomatic warnings and regional instability contributed to the delay.
