Israeli and Palestinian civil society organizations convened in France on Friday to advocate for continued international commitment to a two-state solution. The meeting occurred as hopes for a two-state outcome appear increasingly distant amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Participants issued a joint appeal, urging the global community not to relinquish efforts toward establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. The gathering was facilitated as part of France’s diplomatic push to maintain the issue of a two-state solution on the international agenda. Organizers expressed concern that the current war is overshadowing long-term peace prospects. The appeal represents a rare instance of collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian groups given the current political climate. France continues to actively seek ways to de-escalate tensions and revive peace negotiations.
