The French-Saudi co-hosting arrangement creates an unprecedented alliance between European and Gulf powers on Palestinian sovereignty, potentially reshaping traditional Middle East economic alignments.

📰 What Happened
Ministers are gathering at the UN on July 28, 2025, for a conference on Palestinian statehood, co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia. The meeting, originally scheduled for earlier but delayed due to Israel's attack on Iran, faces boycotts from the US and Israel. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced plans to recognize Palestine as a state in September, stating 'We will launch an appeal in New York so that other countries join us.' France conditions support on Arab nations condemning Hamas.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The French-led initiative for Palestinian statehood carries significant economic implications. France's strategic timing of September 2025 for recognition, coupled with Saudi Arabia's co-hosting role, suggests a shifting economic power structure in the Middle East. This aligns with Daniel 9:27's covenant prophecy, as it represents a major Western nation brokering Middle East peace arrangements. The US-Israel boycott of the conference highlights the prophesied isolation of Israel (Zechariah 12:3). The requirement for Arab nations to condemn Hamas indicates a potential economic pressure point that could influence the prophesied peace agreement's financial terms.
