Paris and Riyadh’s goals in holding the New York meeting: to curb Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” plan.
The New York meeting, held on July 30, 2025, is considered one of the most important recent diplomatic efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The meeting was attended by foreign ministers from countries such as Saudi Arabia, France, and the United Kingdom, and its main goal was to advance the idea of a compromise based on a two-state solution, end the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, and establish mechanisms for the transfer of power and governance in the region.
Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron had announced that France would officially recognize the State of Palestine in September 2025, at the same time as the UN General Assembly, and invited other countries to join this campaign. In this regard, the British ruling Labour Party, under pressure from 220 members of parliament, called for similar action from London, although Prime Minister Keir Starmer has put forward conditions such as an end to the war in Gaza and a practical will to implement the two-state resolutions. In addition, countries such as Australia and Canada have also shown signs of willingness to join this campaign.
This analytical report, relying on the theoretical foundations of international relations, examines the goals, resolutions, reactions, possible consequences and implementation challenges of this meeting, and finally offers strategic suggestions for advancing its goals.
