French President Emmanuel Macron has launched a new initiative aimed at reviving the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, following the end of the Gaza conflict. The plan has garnered support from 142 nations, signaling a potential shift in global diplomatic efforts. However, the absence of participation from both Israel and the United States has sparked discussions about the plan’s viability and impact.
Macron’s ‘day after’ strategy focuses on rebuilding trust, establishing security guarantees, and ensuring fair territorial arrangements for both sides. The proposal emphasizes the need for international oversight to ensure compliance with peace agreements. Despite the support from a vast majority of countries, the lack of key players’ involvement suggests that challenges remain in achieving a lasting resolution.
Analysts suggest that the plan’s success hinges on the willingness of all parties, including the U.S. and Israel, to engage in meaningful dialogue. Meanwhile, the international community remains hopeful that this initiative could mark a turning point in the long-standing conflict.
