After almost two years of war in Gaza, the suffering of his residents does not show any signs of relaxation. While Israel is launching a large ground offensive in the north of the enclave, attention turns to the United Nations again.
On September 22, at the UN headquarters in New York, a world top of state heads and government sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia will try the long-set “two-state solution” new life: an Israeli, a Palestinian, co-existing within safe and recognized borders.
In an April address for the Security councilAnd Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the process “the risk is running completely disappear.” Political will to achieve the goal, he said, “feels further away than ever”.
In a recent exchange with reporters, however, the UN Chef asked: “What is the alternative? Is it a solution with one state in which the Palestinians are deported or the Palestinians are forced to live in their country without rights?”
He underlined that it was “the duty of the international community to keep the two -state solution alive and then the circumstances to make it happen,” materialize. “

What to expect from the top of September 22
Held on the opening day of the week at a high level of the UN general meeting-the annual September meeting of world-leaders-coming the initiative in the midst of a deeply disturbing regional background: intensified Israeli military operations that have killed more than 60,000 people in Gaza since October 7, 2023; the determination of the famine in northern Gaza on August 22; The strikes of Israel against Hamas officials in Qatar on September 9; And accelerating the expansion of the settlement on the West Bank.
Despite the fleeting regional context, the two -state solution will regain diplomatic traction.
On 12 September, the General Meeting adopted the ‘New York Declaration’, after a conference in July, also co-organized by France and Saudi Arabia. It called for “just and permanent peace based on international law and based on the two -state solution.”
To end the war, it urged Hamas to “end his role in Gaza and transfer his weapons to the Palestinian authority.” The United States and Israel, who had the Julycot conference, voted against the text.
The top of September 22 is likely to build on at that momentum: French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce the recognition of France of the state of Palestine, and various other Western countries, including the VK, Canada, Belgium and Australia, are reportedly considering the next court case.
In short: the impact of the top could inject a new momentum in attempts to establish a UN route map to two states.
