The Trump administration has called on nations to steer clear of an upcoming United Nations conference in New York that will focus on the possibility of a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a report by Reuters.
A classified diplomatic message, dated June 10, warned that any country taking steps against Israel following the conference could be viewed as acting in opposition to American diplomatic objectives. The cable suggested that such actions might carry consequences for those countries’ relationships with the United States.
The communication made it clear that Washington remains strongly opposed to any move to recognize a Palestinian state outside of a negotiated process.
As of now, the State Department has not issued any public statement in response to the report.
This advisory from Washington coincides with growing international activity surrounding the conference. French President Emmanuel Macron recently revealed that France intends to officially recognize a Palestinian state at the same UN event in New York. Speaking to France 5 television after returning from a trip to Egypt, Macron declared, “We must move towards recognition, and we will do so in the coming months.”
Macron also disclosed that France and Saudi Arabia are working jointly to organize the conference, which could serve as a coordinated platform for several countries to announce recognition of Palestinian statehood. He framed the move as part of a strategy to promote peace and mutual legitimacy in the Middle East.
Justifying the proposed recognition, Macron said, “Such recognition would allow France to be clear in our fight against those who deny Israel’s right to exist, which is the case with Iran – and to commit ourselves to collective security in the region.”
The Palestinian Authority applauded Macron’s remarks. Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, identified as the PA “minister of state for foreign affairs,” described the planned recognition as “a step in the right direction.” On the other hand, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemned the idea, cautioning that acknowledging what he described as a “fictional Palestinian state” without negotiations would serve to reward violence and empower Hamas.
Recently, several European nations—including Spain, Ireland, Norway, and Slovenia—have already recognized a Palestinian state, fueling further debate on the issue.

Macron is a true …(fill in the blank with your choice description of this menuval). He’s a cocaine snorting leftist elite who married his mother figure, 24 YEARS OLDER THAN HIM. THAT’S A SICK PUPPY. And France has always been one of the greatist sonai Yisroel, going back to its support of the arch terrorist Arafat, and opening the floodgates to waves of muslim hordes of refugees. How many “no go” muslim zones are there now in France? Too many to count.
With Gaza in shambles, the PA out of power for YEARS, AND THE SO-CALLED PALESTINIAN PEOPLE 80% backing Hamas terrorists, there is NO LOGICAL REASON to entertain the idea of a palestinian state right now ( as if there ever was one). Trump should crush them economically with sanctions if they make such a stupid move.
