Al Jazeera – Sept 22, 2025
The leaders of six countries, including France, have moved to recognise Palestinian statehood at a high-level summit ahead of the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting in New York.
Alongside France, which co-convened the meeting with Saudi Arabia on Monday in New York, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta and Monaco said they were recognising a Palestinian state.
Leaders from Australia, Canada, Portugal and the United Kingdom, which formally made the move to recognise Palestine a day earlier, also spoke at the meeting.
“We have gathered here because the time has come,” Macron said at the summit convened to revive the long-delayed two-state solution to end the Israel-Palestine conflict.
“It falls on us, this responsibility, to do everything in our power to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution,” Macron said.
“Today, I declare that France recognises the state of Palestine,” he said.
The additional countries recognising Palestine now join some 147 of the 193 UN member states that had already formally recognised Palestinian statehood as of April this year.
With more than 80 percent of the international community now recognising the state of Palestine, diplomatic pressure has ramped up on Israel as it continues its genocidal war on Gaza, where more than 65,300 Palestinians have been killed and the has been enclave turned into rubble.
Spain, Norway and Ireland recognised Palestinian statehood last year, with Madrid also imposing sanctions on Israel for its war on Gaza
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told the summit on Monday that a two-state solution was not possible “when the population of one of those two states is the victim of a genocide”.
“The Palestinian people are being annihilated, [so] in the name of reason, in the name of international law and in the name of human dignity, we have to stop this slaughter,” Sanchez said.
Macron, in his speech to the summit, also outlined a framework for the creation of a “renewed Palestinian Authority”. The post-war framework envisages an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) that would assist in preparing the Palestinian Authority (PA) to take over governance in Gaza.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas commended the countries that had recognised Palestine. He made his statement to the conference by video because he was denied a visa by the administration of US President Donald Trump to attend the UNGA this week.
“We call on those that have not yet done so to do so to follow suit”, Abbas said, adding that the PA also demanded “support for Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations”.
Israel and the US, which are becoming increasingly isolated internationally on the issue, boycotted the summit, with Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, describing the event as a “circus”.
Although the vast majority of UN member states now recognise Palestinian statehood, new UN member states must have the support of the UN Security Council, where the US has used its veto to block Palestine from becoming a full UN member state.
‘A right, not a reward’
Speaking at the summit, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated his support for the two-state solution, framing it as the only viable path towards peace after years of failed negotiations and ongoing violence.
Guterres said that statehood for Palestinians “is a right, not a reward”, rejecting US and Israeli claims that it was a reward for Hamas.
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, thanked Macron and the UN chief for their efforts towards a two-state solution, which he said is “the only way to achieve just and lasting peace”.
He said the conference comes at a time when “the Israeli occupation authorities continue their aggression and their brutal crimes” against Palestinians in Gaza.
Israel also continues its “violations in the West Bank, and its repeated attacks on Arab and Muslim countries, with the most recent attack on Qatar”, he said.
“These actions underline Israel’s insistence on continuing aggressive practices that threaten regional and international peace and stability and undermine efforts of peace in the region,” he added.
“Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told the summit on Monday that a two-state solution was not possible “when the population of one of those two states is the victim of a genocide”.”
Hey there Sanchez the European Peoples ( including Spaniards ) are also facing a genocide — it’s called population displacement and replacement. So what will you do about that????

” send them home ” is the message
It is about time that these countries openly admit to the atrocities that the talmud evil cult in the occupied land of Palestine is carried out against the indigenous Palestinians. But really, the reason these leaders are coming forward is because they are recognizing that and rightfully so, there will be Nuremberg 2.0 trials.
Whites need to focus on establishing their own State ruled by them, than on these mongrel commie Arabs all the time. We used to have the US & Nazi Germany but both were destroyed by the mongrels (Jews) in 1865 & 1945.. There are no white governed nations left on the planet. These multiracial nation-states will ultimately result in the mongrelization & extinction of the Aryan (Germanci-Celtic-Slavic)

All kabuki. Know the west by their inaction in sanctioning israel by enforcing a replica sanction on what they did South Africa’s separate development era from 1970 – 1994. Until this happens all hot air.

Perhaps the EU has decided that it can take Palestine away from the US/Israel and get all that oil and gas and beachfront for itself? First, recognize it as a nation; second, have it join a new Europe-Middle East alliance; then, suck it under like the US has done with Central America for so long.
“Leaders from Australia, Canada, Portugal and the United Kingdom, which formally made the move to recognise Palestine a day earlier, also spoke at the meeting”.
Wow, recognizing Palestine before its gone through a deadly face and name change is acting like true LEADERS do, right? Funny that, none of the above mentioned cuntries do have any leaders nor are they sovereign countries who look after their own state and populace. And to top that its Al Jazeera the most kosher Arabic medium of Middle eastern news, politics and rewriting history in the making.
Migrant given £600 taxpayer-funded taxi to see doctor 250 miles from hotel
Story by Michael Knowles migrants living in asylum hotels are being given taxpayer-funded taxis for all of their appointments, a bombshell investigation has found.
Hotel staff booked cars on an automated system if residents could provide proof of an upcoming meeting, such as a GP visit.
One migrant, Kadir, said he was told to take a £600 250-mile taxi ride to see a knee consultant after he was moved to a different hotel. He was not offered the option to travel by public transport.
Other migrants revealed, in an investigation by the BBC, that they were working illegally in the UK and some said they had set up potentially dangerous cooking facilities because they didn’t like the free catering.
Gaza has been bombed flat. Israel is busy securing their new real estate holdings, with an eye on more in neighboring countries. So the question becomes: WHERE will Palestine have their homeland- Australia?
