European nations plan to recognize Palestine to pressure “Israel,” amid stalled peace efforts and ongoing conflict.

A crucial international conference meant to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution to the so-called Israel-Palestinian conflict will take place from June 17 to 20 in New York.

Even before the events of October 7, the majority of Israeli officials clearly declared their rejection of the idea of establishing a Palestinian state, and called for the necessity of annexing the occupied West Bank.
