The conference organized by France and Saudi Arabia began with the speeches of President Emmanuel Macron and the actual Saudi ruler Mohammed Bin Salman.
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and several leaders among them, among them, the President of Palestinian Autonomy Mahmud Abbas are also to speak.
The Palestinian leader will speak remotely because the US refused him a visa to the general debate of the 80th UN General Assembly session in New York.
On Sunday, Palestine's statehood was formally recognized by Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal. I expect that during the Monday meeting the same decision, next to France, will also be announced by Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino.
The peak is a continuation of the French-Saudi initiative to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by implements the so-called two -state solutions, assuming the creation of an independent Palestine next to Israel.
The outline of the initiative was developed in the “New York Declaration” adopted in July, which was supported in September by a significant majority of votes by the UN General Assembly. The document calls, among others until the immediate end of the war in the Gaza Strip, including the release of Israeli hostages, as well as the creation of a Palestinian state based on the reformed and demilitarized Palestinian autonomy. The Gaza Strep would become part of this country.
