PurposePeaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution

The New York Declaration is the resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly on September 12, 2025, which endorses the two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The declaration calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, and the establishment of a sovereign viable Palestinian state alongside Israel. It condemns the October 7 attacks by Hamas and demands the group's disarmament, while also condemning actions that have led to Gaza humanitarian crisis.[1][2][3][4]

The declaration establishes a specialized committee responsible for developing and overseeing all necessary mechanisms, through continuous and binding follow-ups, to ensure the implementation of the conference's outcomes. The committee will comprise 19 countries and be jointly chaired by France and Saudi Arabia. It will include 17 chairpersons of the eight subcommittees emerging from this conference.[5]
