[noumoe]

President Trump will address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday amid the recognition of Palestinian statehood by countries that are allies of both the U.S. and Israel.

Trump is set to leave for New York City on Monday, where he will give the first address of his second term to the annual gathering and meet with other countries' leaders, ABC News reported.

France and Saudi Arabia on Monday will hold an international peace conference in support of the two-state solution. Along with France, Andorra, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Portugal, Malta, the United Kingdom, and San Marino will formally recognize Palestinian statehood, joining 140 countries that have already done so.

UK, French, and Canadian leaders have said in their announcements of recognizing Palestinian statehood that there should be an end to the war in Gaza, including the immediate release of all remaining hostages, and the understanding that Hamas would no longer be the governing authority in Gaza after the war.

The U.S. will not participate in the conference and was one of 10 countries that voted against the General Assembly resolution supporting the gathering.
