At the 2025 New York Peace Conference on Gaza, global momentum builds for a ceasefire and formal recognition of a Palestinian state. France, the UK, Malta, and San Marino announce steps toward recognition, with Malta confirming its support by the UN General Assembly in September and San Marino by year-end. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns of recognition if a ceasefire is not reached by September. A joint declaration proposes a 15-month transition to a demilitarized, sovereign Palestinian state under the Palestinian Authority with UN peacekeeping support. Meanwhile, the Netherlands bans Israeli far-right ministers and urges an EU-backed ceasefire.
