"The genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza according to an independent commission appointed by the United Nations, along with the recognition of Palestinian statehood by key U.S. partners and allies such as France, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada (the latter three did so this past Sunday), will monopolize the opening of the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly, which is being held this week at the organization's headquarters in New York."
"The starting point will be the so-called High-Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, a U.N. initiative co-sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia that was launched in July and at which, for the first time, the Arab bloc called on Hamas to lay down its weapons and relinquish power in Gaza."
A new group of countries, including some U.S. partners, will formally recognize Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly's 80th session in New York. An independent U.N. commission has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and several key U.S. allies — France, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada — have recognized Palestinian statehood. A recent U.S. veto of a Security Council ceasefire resolution highlighted Washington's growing international isolation. Around a dozen additional recognitions are expected. A High-Level International Conference co-sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia, launched in July, urged Hamas to disarm and relinquish power in Gaza as a fundamental postwar requirement.
