Paris Peace Forum seeks to create new momentum for two-state solution ahead of high-stakes UN event

As protests in Tel Aviv demand a ceasefire and hostage release, and the Freedom Flotilla challenges Israel’s blockade, the Paris Peace Forum hosts a pivotal civil society event on June 13: the “Paris Call for the Two-State Solution, Peace and Regional Security.” Held at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, it precedes the UN’s High-Level Conference in New York. With Israeli, Palestinian, and international voices calling for peace, FRANCE 24’s François Picard welcomes Steven Ekovich, Professor Emeritus at the American University of Paris, on the path forward.
