Trump administration urges other countries to skip UN conference on Israel-Gaza war

Demarche instructs governments not to participate in meeting on two-state solution between Israel and Palestinians

Donald Trump's administration is discouraging governments around the world from attending a UN conference next week on a possible two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, according to a US cable seen by Reuters.

The diplomatic demarche, sent on Tuesday, says countries that take anti-Israel actions" following the conference will be viewed as acting in opposition to US foreign policy interests and could face diplomatic consequences from Washington.
