US warns UK and France not to recognise Palestinian state
The US has warned Britain and France against recognising a Palestinian state at a UN conference later this month, Middle East Eye can reveal.
France and Saudi Arabia are set to co-host a major UN conference on the two-state solution beginning on 17 June in New York.
France is reportedly gearing up to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state at the conference. MEE understands that France has been lobbying Britain to do so as well.
