International envoys will discuss a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at UN headquarters in New York this month, before national leaders meet in September, a French diplomatic source said Wednesday.
A conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, was planned for June to revive a diplomatic path for Israeli and Palestinian states to live side-by-side in peace. It was postponed at the last minute because of Israel's military campaign against Iran.
Last week, diplomatic sources said the conference had been rescheduled for July 28-29, but did not say who would attend.
The French source said this month's meeting would be at ministerial level. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot would attend, his office said.
