The Trump administration has called on nations to steer clear of an upcoming United Nations conference in New York that will focus on the possibility of a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a report by Reuters.
A classified diplomatic message, dated June 10, warned that any country taking steps against Israel following the conference could be viewed as acting in opposition to American diplomatic objectives. The cable suggested that such actions might carry consequences for those countries’ relationships with the United States.
The communication made it clear that Washington remains strongly opposed to any move to recognize a Palestinian state outside of a negotiated process.
