According to Al Jazeera, the Trump administration has reportedly warned countries against participating in an upcoming United Nations conference focused on the Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution.
According to a diplomatic cable obtained by Reuters and dated June 10, Washington cautioned that nations taking “anti-Israel actions” following the conference could face diplomatic consequences and be seen as opposing US foreign policy interests.
The UN conference, scheduled for June 17-20 in New York and co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, aims to advance discussions on a roadmap toward Palestinian statehood while ensuring Israel’s security.
French President Emmanuel Macron has indicated that recognition of a Palestinian state may be on the agenda.
The US government also opposes any implied support from the conference for boycotts, sanctions, or other punitive measures against Israel.
This stance aligns with Washington’s consistent diplomatic and military backing of Israel, including at least $3.8 billion in annual military aid and additional support since the Gaza war began.
The Trump administration’s pressure reportedly extends to France and other Western allies, with warnings that recognition of Palestine at the conference would be considered a personal insult to President Trump.
These diplomatic efforts have reportedly influenced France to scale back ambitions for the conference’s outcomes.
The situation underscores the deep divisions among international actors over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and highlights the challenges facing efforts to revive peace talks amid ongoing violence and political tensions.
