Finland said Friday it would sign a French-Saudi declaration on a two-state solution between Israelis and the Palestinians but stopped short of announcing a date for recognising Palestinian statehood.

"The process led by France and Saudi Arabia is the most significant international effort in years to create the conditions for a two-state solution," Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen wrote on X.
