It has been decades since the international community sent a decisive message of unity and clarity on the need to resolve the question of Palestine through the two-state solution. Co-hosted by Saudi Arabia and France, a conference at the UN headquarters in New York and attended by delegates from no less than 125 countries issued such a message this week.
The final communique presented a comprehensive and unanimous approach to ending the war in Gaza, establishing tools to protect the Palestinian people while rejecting unilateral changes to the demography and geography of the Occupied Territories. But most importantly, it underlined that the only just and viable resolution to the conflict is through ending the occupation and implementing the two-state solution.
The international conference, boycotted by the US and Israel, was a collective response by a majority of members of the UN’s General Assembly to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, its declared intention to carry out ethnic cleansing through the forced displacement of Palestinians and its plan to annex Palestinian territories. The final communique was anchored in international law and UN resolutions, as well as on the public positions of an overwhelming majority of states regarding the two-state solution.
