Overview

• More than 150 UN members now recognize a Palestinian state, with fresh moves by the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Australia during UNGA week.
• Benjamin Netanyahu said "There will be no Palestinian state," pledged to condemn recent recognitions in his UN address, and plans to meet President Trump in Washington.
• Trump presented a 21‑point outline to leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt, with seven issuing a joint statement praising the plan.
• The outline envisions a multinational force from Muslim countries, Gaza governance excluding Hamas with some Palestinian Authority role, release of all hostages, a permanent ceasefire and phased Israeli withdrawal, with Arab states funding reconstruction.
• US envoy Steve Witkoff expressed confidence in a breakthrough within days, even as Israeli forces intensify operations in Gaza City and a UN commission accuses Israel of genocide, a charge Israel denies.
