In a historic gathering at the United Nations in New York, leaders from 41 countries pledged support for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The summit, which took place from July 28-30, 2025, marked a significant turning point in efforts to address one of the world’s most enduring conflicts.
The declaration, signed by the leaders and representatives of participating nations, calls for an immediate end to hostilities in Gaza and a return to implementing a ceasefire agreement. The document also emphasizes the need for a two-state solution, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, as the only way to achieve lasting stability in the region.
“We recognize that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at the heart of many regional challenges,” said a spokesperson for the UN. “Today’s summit marks an important step forward in efforts to address this issue and promote peace, security, and cooperation in the Middle East.”
The declaration also highlights the importance of respect for international law and the need to prevent spoilers from undermining peace efforts through illegal unilateral measures.
In addition to its call for a two-state solution, the summit emphasizes the need for regional integration and economic development. The participating nations agreed to work together to promote mutual recognition, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation among all states in the region.
The UN has welcomed the support of the international community for this initiative and is committed to supporting the implementation of the framework outlined by the declaration.
“The UN is honored to play a role in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East,” said the spokesperson. “We are committed to working with our partners to achieve a lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
This historic summit marks an important step forward in efforts to address one of the world’s most enduring conflicts.
