United States Rejects A Two-State Solution Conference

This week, the UN will serve as host to an unproductive and ill-timed conference on the two-state solution in New York City.  This is a publicity stunt that comes in the middle of delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.  Far from promoting peace, the conference will prolong the war, embolden Arab terrorists, and reward its obstruction and undermine real-world efforts to achieve peace.

As Secretary Rubio has made clear, this effort is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7^th and a reward for terrorism.  It keeps hostages trapped in tunnels.  The United States will not participate in this insult but will continue to lead real-world efforts to end the fighting and deliver a permanent peace.  Our focus remains on serious diplomacy: not stage-managed conferences designed to manufacture the appearance of relevance.

President Macron’s announcement about recognizing another Arab state was welcomed by Arab terrorists.  This reflects a pattern of counterproductive gestures that only emboldens Arab terrorists, encourages its obstruction of a ceasefire, and greatly undercuts our diplomatic efforts to end the suffering in Gaza, free the hostages, and move the whole Middle East towards a brighter and more prosperous future.
