With friends like these pushing to dismantle Trump's Middle East peace deal, who needs enemies?

French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi officials call for U.N. meeting to endorse declaration that threatens to overturn President Donald Trump's Middle East peace framework.
Anne Bayefsky is director, Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, and president, Human Rights Voices.
The staging ground for this "Et tu, Brute?" moment is the United Nations. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sept. 3, 2025, that he, and his Saudi counterpart, have called upon world leaders to assemble at the United Nations in New York City on Sept. 22 and endorse this agenda. Formally, the substance has been committed to paper in what they are outlandishly calling "The New York Declaration."
This means that by the time President Trump addresses the General Assembly on the following day, he will have been reduced to the guy with the broom bringing up the rear. His hopes and plans for peace in the Middle East will have already been rejected by virtually every head of state or government in attendance.
