UN debate over Israel‑Palestine two‑state solution

Overview

In mid‑June 2026 Saudi Arabia’s UN envoy urged the Security Council to end Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories and to establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He called for a permanent cease‑fire in Gaza, sustained humanitarian access, and protection of holy sites.

Two days later, the Council convened an emergency session on the Gaza humanitarian crisis. Saudi representatives reiterated the two‑state demand, condemned settlement expansion and any alteration of Jerusalem’s status, and welcomed U.S.‑backed cease‑fire proposals while pressing for implementation of existing UN resolutions. The Palestinian Permanent Observer characterized the situation as a manufactured catastrophe and urged decisive action beyond rhetoric. The meeting reflected broad international backing for Saudi‑led calls, with multiple Council members and major powers supporting the agenda.
