Turning to the Middle East, the Biden administration has issued a strong warning to governments worldwide regarding participation in an upcoming UN conference focused on advancing a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. The event, co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia in New York City, aims to lay out a “road map” for Palestinian state recognition amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In a confidential diplomatic cable obtained by Reuters, the US expressed opposition to the conference, warning participating nations that any actions perceived as anti-Israel could be met with diplomatic repercussions. The message underscores the US's firm stance against unilateral moves that could undermine ongoing efforts to stabilize the region.
