VIDEO: Global talks on 'Israel-Palestine' two-state solution

The United Nations conference on a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the two-state solution has officially begun, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France.

The three-day event brings together representatives from 123 countries, including Jordan, along with numerous international and regional organizations. The conference aims to accelerate efforts to end the Israeli Occupation and establish an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.

Jordan is represented at the conference by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement of plans to recognize the State of Palestine, calling it a significant step toward reinforcing Palestinian rights.

He added that regional stability begins with fulfilling the rights of the Palestinian people and stressed the need to end the humanitarian catastrophe caused by ongoing 'Israeli' violations in the Palestinian territories.

The minister described the conference as a turning point for activating the two-state solution and ending the occupation, adding that the Arab Peace Initiative remains a key foundation for any just and comprehensive resolution.

Meanwhile, France’s Foreign Minister said the conference must serve as a turning point in implementing the two-state solution. He condemned attacks targeting women and children attempting to access aid and called for an end to the assault on Gaza.
