US Opposes UN Conference on Two-State Solution
(MENAFN) The United States on Monday dismissed an international forum on the two-state resolution, currently being held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, describing it as an “unproductive” and “ill-timed” initiative that disrupts ongoing diplomatic negotiations.
“This is a publicity stunt that comes in the middle of delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict,” said State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce on Monday, strongly criticizing the meeting's timing and purpose.
According to Bruce, the gathering is not only failing to advance peace but could actually prolong the violence, strengthen Hamas, and derail genuine attempts at achieving a lasting resolution.
“Far from promoting peace, the conference will prolong the war, embolden Hamas, and reward its obstruction and undermine real-world efforts to achieve peace,” she asserted.
She added that the United States would not participate in the event, accusing its backers of organizing what she referred to as “a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th and a reward for terrorism.”
Bruce further denounced French President Emmanuel Macron’s recognition of a Palestinian state, calling it part of a “pattern of counterproductive gestures that only emboldens Hamas.”
The three-day forum, jointly led by France and Saudi Arabia, seeks to identify practical, time-sensitive actions for progressing toward the two-state resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The event has established eight specialized working groups to explore various dimensions of the issue.
