French President Emmanuel Macron announced the postponement of a UN conference on a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine due to rising tensions between Israel and Iran. The conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, was set for June 17-20 in New York. Macron emphasized that the delay does not affect the commitment to the two-state solution and is in talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for a new date. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the Palestinian state creation, and the US administration discouraged global attendance at the conference. Macron also highlighted the need for increased security in France following Israel's strikes on Iran. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
