France told a UN conference co-chaired with Saudi Arabia on Monday that there is "no alternative" to a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

Fired by France's imminent recognition of Palestinian statehood, UN members begin a two-day conference Monday in New York to breathe life into the push for a two-state solution. However, neither Israel nor the US are expected to attend.

The editorial manager for the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication, Andrea Tornielli, called for a “two-state solution” and recognition of Palestine as a state.

Israel and the United States angrily — and wrongly — condemned French president Emmanuel Macron’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

Post-WWII leader Charles de Gaulle famously rallied France to the Palestinian people following the 1967 war, with Paris engaging with the Palestinian Liberation Organization for decades, even as terror attacks were committed in the group’s name on French soil.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon told Newsweek that France's move constituted a "reward for terrorism."
