Why is Saudi Arabia leading push for Palestinian statehood?  DW  08/06/2025
"The Saudi initiative for Palestinian statehood demonstrates a growing international coalition, as various countries announce plans to recognize a Palestinian state alongside calls for a two-state solution."
"The New York Declaration, signed by the Arab League and other nations, outlines a phased path towards a two-state solution and addresses both Palestinian disarmament and Israeli actions."
Saudi Arabia is spearheading the movement for international recognition of Palestinian statehood, initiating the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution in September 2024. Following meetings in Riyadh, numerous countries, including France and Canada, expressed intent to recognize Palestine. A significant outcome of this diplomacy is the New York Declaration, supported by Arab League members and EU countries, which outlines a phased approach to achieving a two-state solution while condemning violence from both Israel and Hamas. This marks a crucial step in potential peace efforts in the region.
