There is no alternative to the solution to two states, Israeli and Palestinian, to reach peace in the Middle East, pleaded on Monday, July 28, France and many other states at an international conference at the UN. “Only a political solution to two states makes it possible to respond to the legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. There is no alternative”said the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot. “After 22 months of unsuccessful attempts, it is illusory to hope for a sustainable ceasefire without drawing a common post-war vision in Gaza, without drawing a political horizon and an alternative to the permanent state of war”he insisted.

After Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that he would recognize the Palestinian State formally in September, the conference convened by the United Nations General Assembly, and co -worked by Paris and Ryad, hopes to engage a dynamic in the matter. Others “Western country” Will express their intention to recognize the Palestinian State at the conference which ends on Wednesday, assured Jean-Noël Barrot, without identifying them.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, for his part, told the general assembly that the Palestinian authority was ready to assume responsibility for Gaza. “Hamas must return its control to the Gaza Strip and put its arms back to the Palestinian Authority”he pleaded. The Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Fayçal Ben Farhane, repeated that “Standardization with Israel can only go through the establishment of a Palestinian State”.

This conference was however criticized virulence by the United States. The State Department denounced, on Monday, an initiative “Unproductive and inappropriate”which is akin to a “Advertising” in the middle “delicate diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict”. For his part, Israel accused the conference of “Strengthen an illusion”.
