Global Leaders Convene at UN to Discuss Two-State Solution for Israel and Palestine

Ministers are gathering at the UN to discuss a roadmap for a Palestinian state, but the US and Israel are boycotting the event due to ongoing conflicts and disagreements over Hamas and hostages. France and Saudi Arabia are hosting the conference, with France planning to recognize a Palestinian state in September, while the US and Israel criticize the conference for not addressing key issues like Hamas and hostages. The UN has previously supported Palestinian statehood, but the US vetoed full UN membership.
