United Nations, Sept 22 (V7N) – A high-level world summit is set to take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Monday, (Sept 22) aimed at reviving the long-stalled “two-State solution” between Israel and Palestine. Sponsored jointly by France and Saudi Arabia, the summit brings together Heads of State and Government from across the globe to address the decades-long conflict and explore avenues for peace.
The two-State solution envisions the establishment of two sovereign states—one Israeli and one Palestinian—coexisting within secure and internationally recognized borders. The initiative seeks to address critical issues including territorial disputes, security arrangements, the status of Jerusalem, refugee rights, and mutual recognition.
This summit comes amid rising tensions and continued violence in the region, which have further complicated efforts to achieve a lasting resolution. French and Saudi sponsors emphasized that the summit is an urgent response to the prolonged stalemate and aims to build international consensus to restart meaningful negotiations.
UN officials noted that the gathering will include sessions on diplomatic frameworks, humanitarian aid coordination, and mechanisms to monitor compliance with international law. Special emphasis will be placed on supporting peacebuilding efforts, promoting human rights, and ensuring the protection of civilians.
Observers anticipate that the summit could provide renewed momentum for stalled negotiations and signal a strengthened commitment from the international community toward a just and sustainable solution for both Israelis and Palestinians.
The summit underscores the global recognition that a durable peace in the Middle East is crucial not only for regional stability but also for broader international security and development objectives.
