ISTANBUL (AA) - French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned that the prospect of a Palestinian state is more threatened than ever and confirmed a UN conference on Palestine will be convened on July 28.

"As Gaza is gripped by famine and destruction, and the prospect of a Palestinian state is more threatened than ever, France and Saudi Arabia will co-chair a meeting of the international community this Monday at the UN to save the two-state solution," Barrot wrote on X.

The high-level UN conference on peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and implementation of a two-state solution was postponed due to logistical and security reasons after the Iran-Israel war in June. It is now rescheduled for July 28-29.
