Israel/Palestinian Territories – Arab League’s support for New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State solution - Statement by the ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs deputy spokesperson (5 September 2025)

France welcomes the Arab League states’ unprecedented call to endorse and implement the New York Declaration, adopted following the international conference on the implementation of the two-state solution, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia on 28 and 29 July.

This call reflects the Arab League States’ desire to commit to the implementation of an ambitious road map for the peace and security of everyone in the region, which requires an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all the hostages, the establishment of a viable, sovereign Palestinian State, the disarmament of Hamas and its exclusion from Gaza’s governance, normalization between Israel and the Arab countries, and the implementation of collective security guarantees incorporating Israel. We call on all the States to join this road map.
