The Trump administration is actively discouraging participation from global governments in an upcoming UN conference aimed at establishing a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. A US cable indicates that nations taking actions seen as anti-Israel post-conference may face diplomatic backlash from the US. This stance conflicts with the positions of France and Saudi Arabia, co-hosts of the event. The US's long-standing endorsement of a two-state resolution is being put into question as recent comments from US officials reflect a strong opposition to recognizing a Palestinian state unilaterally.
The diplomatic demarche, sent on Tuesday, stresses that countries acting against American foreign policy post-conference could face repercussions, highlighting US influence over global diplomacy.
The United States, through its diplomacy, is discouraging participation in the UN conference, arguing it undermines efforts to resolve the conflict and supports enemies of Israel.
