Israel, Finland to signed a declaration on the two-state solution for Palestinians

Finland stated that on Friday (September 5, 2025) it would sign a French-Sawy Declaration on the two-state solution between Israel and Palestinians, but the Palestinian state stopped the announcement of a date to recognize the state.

“The process led by France and Saudi Arabia is the most important international effort in the years to create conditions for a two-state solution,” was written by External Affairs Minister Elina Walton on X.

Finland’s right-wing coalition government is divided on the question of recognizing the state of Palestinian, which was opposed by both a distant Fins party and Christian Democrats.

“Finland is committed to recognizing the Palestine state at some point in the future,” Walton said to reporters, without expanding a possible date.

Finnish President Alexander Stub announced in early August that he was ready to recognize the state of Palestinian if the government used to present him with a proposal.

The head of the state has limited powers, but coordinates foreign policy in close cooperation with the government.

Many countries including France and Britain have vowed to recognize the state of Palestinian on the occasion of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in September.

Adopting the French-Saudi declaration “Finland’s Finnam and Security Policy is in line with the Finland government report, which was unanimously adopted by Parliament”, said Ms. Walton.

The head of Christian Democrats, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Sari Aesya said on X that he had expressed his disagreement for Finland’s Foreign Policy and Security Committee.

The committee consists of the President, Prime Minister and members of the cabinet.
