A United Nations conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia aimed at forging a roadmap towards a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians has been postponed after Israel launched a military attack on Iran, two sources said, Reuters reports.

A Western diplomatic source in Riyadh said that the Saudi-French conference would be postponed partially due to the attacks on Iran. A second source familiar said some delegations from the Middle East would not or could not come due to developments.
