Conference to recognise Palestinian state to weaken scope of its ambition, diplomats say
"The upcoming conference in Saudi Arabia seeks to consolidate steps toward Palestinian recognition rather than declaring recognition outright, reflecting a strategic adjustment in approach."
"Emmanuel Macron emphasized that recognition of Palestine is both a moral obligation and political necessity, yet voiced reassurances to Israeli counterparts that the conference won't guarantee this recognition."
The upcoming conference in Saudi Arabia aims to establish steps toward the recognition of Palestine, a shift from a previously planned joint declaration of statehood. Despite its diminished ambition, French President Emmanuel Macron underscores recognition as a moral obligation, though it is unlikely to materialize during the conference. Instead, efforts will focus on achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, releasing hostages, and reforming the Palestinian Authority. Working groups led by France and Saudi Arabia are being established to work towards a two-state solution, with participation from Israel and the US under scrutiny due to their non-communication.
