A UN conference in New York last week, attended by more than 100 countries and co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed to advance momentum for a two-state solution.

Numerous diplomatic sources told MEE the UK was pivotal in pushing for these demands to be included in the statement, as well as the inclusion of strong language condemning the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.

It was described as "both historic and unprecedented" by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.

He hailed that for "the first time" Arab and Middle Eastern countries "condemn Hamas, condemn 7 October, call for its disarmament, call for its exclusion from any form of participation in the governance of Palestine, and clearly express their intention to maintain normalised relations with Israel in the future and to join Israel and the future state of Palestine in a regional organisation".

Jordan and Egypt are now arresting citizens and beating them for sharing pro resistance sentiment of any kind. They most recently beat a kid from a big Jordanian tribe so bad they popped his left eye and he lost sight. His mom made a plea to public opinion describing what happened and calling for justice, she was forced to delete it and silenced, which only made it spread more. Civil war is coming to more than just the US, the puppet states are gonna collapse with it as well.
