Monaco, Malta and Luxembourg declared their support during a summit on a two-state solution in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia. The summit aims to intensify efforts toward reviving a two-state solution and provide a pathway to peace. The move to recognize a Palestinian state has led to a furious response in Israel. The US has frequently wielded its veto power in line with Israel’s foreign policy, blocking a Security Council resolution last year that would have recognized a Palestinian state. President Donald Trump last week said he disagreed with the UK over its plans to acknowledge a Palestinian state, but stopped short of saying how he might pressure Israel to end its war.
