As Israel's continued expansion of military operations in the Gaza Strip exacerbates the local humanitarian crisis, the international community calls for the implementation of the "two-country plan" is further strengthened, and Western multi-country "recognition of the State of Palestine" rises.

UN Secretary-General Guterres said that the international community should not be intimidated by Israel and that the ¡°two-state plan¡± is the only option to maintain peace in the Middle East.

Who will recognize the Palestinian state?

According to the French Presidential Palace, during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, France and Saudi Arabia will co-host an international conference on the implementation of the "two-state solution" at the United Nations headquarters in new york on September 22nd.

French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted on social media on the evening of the 19th that he reiterated that France would recognize the State of Palestine on September 22, when he spoke to Palestinian President Abbas on the same day, recognizing the State of Palestine as part of a comprehensive regional peace plan that will respond to the expectations of the Palestinian people for security and peace.

The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 19th saying that Portugal will officially announce its recognition of the Palestinian state on September 21st.

According to foreign media reports, in addition to France and Portugal, Britain, Canada, Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, and San Marino will also recognize the Palestinian state at the United Nations meeting on September 22. The representative of the United States said earlier that the United States would not attend this meeting.

On September 16, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, UN Secretary-General Guterres spoke at a press conference.

Guterres: Don¡¯t be scared by Israel

Guterres said on Monday that the international community should not be frightened by Israel.Israel hasly threatened that Israel will annex the West Bank if Western countries advance the recognition of the Palestinian state plan at the UN General Assembly.

On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an agreement aimed at advancing the West Bank¡¯s plan to build a ¡°E1 Area¡± Jewish settlement that sparked international condemnation, and declared that ¡°there will be no Palestinian state.¡±

Speaking of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Guterres said the suffering of the Palestinian people is difficult to describe, the famine spreads, the medical system collapses, and the people have nowhere to dwell.

¡°Is the two-state plan the only option to peace in the Middle East and the choice of a single-state solution ¨C bringing millions of Palestinians facing deportation, occupation, oppression and discrimination, and losing their fundamental rights on their own land ¨C absolutely unacceptable in the 21st century?¡±

U.S. Senate first proposes bill to recognize Palestinian state

Some Democratic senators in the U.S. Senate recently put forward a resolution calling on U.S. President Trump to recognize the de-militarized Palestinian state.This is the first time the U.S. Senate has put forward such a resolution.

The non-binding resolution urged the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to disarm and release hostages, while urging Israel to end the conflict and stop the expansion of settlements.

Democratic Senator Jeff Merkel, who initiated the resolution, issued a statement calling on Israel and Hamas to immediately cease fire, release detainees and expand aid to Gaza, saying in a statement that ¡°recognizing the State of Palestine is not only a practical step that the United States can take ... but is the right approach¡±, Israel¡¯s current policies and military operations in the Gaza Strip will bring ¡°bad prospects¡±.

Both houses of the U.S. Congress are currently controlled by the Republican Party. The resolution has not received the support of any Republican senator, and is very unlikely to be passed. Trump said at a meeting with British Prime Minister Stammer on 18th that he opposed Britain¡¯s plans to recognize the Palestinian state.

Supporters of the resolution said they hope to further pressure the Trump administration to take action on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. ¡ª Reporters: Wang Sheng, Zhou Tsunami, Zho Ben Yifeng, Xu Khomey
