flag France leads international talks on Gaza’s post-war recovery, sparking diplomatic tension over Palestinian statehood recognition.

flag France hosted a high-level meeting in Paris on October 9, 2025, bringing together foreign ministers from Arab and European nations to plan post-war reconstruction and governance in Gaza following a newly brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. flag The talks, timed just hours after the agreement was reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, focused on coordinating international support for security, rebuilding, and Palestinian statehood efforts, including a proposed international stabilization force. flag While France, the UK, Canada, and Portugal have recognized a Palestinian state, Germany and others oppose immediate recognition, creating diplomatic tensions. flag Israel criticized the meeting, calling it unnecessary and harmful, especially as it excluded Israel and included nations that recognize Palestinian statehood. flag The U.S.-led peace effort continues in parallel, raising concerns about coordination.
