At the conference expected to be held in New York, the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is expected to be discussed, Periscope.
In an interview on television France 5, Macro said:
We should go towards recognition and do this in the coming months. ”
He announced that France's goal is to co-chair the conference together with Saudi Arabia, adding that recognition of the Palestinian state will be part of this initiative.
Macron underlined that France's decision to recognise Palestine is not only fair in essence but also part of a collective dynamic that would encourage countries supporting Palestine.
This will allow us to be clear in the fight against those who deny Israel's right to exist, such as the case with Iran and engage in collective security in the region. ”
France, which has long supported the solution of two states, has remained on the line even after the October 7, 2023 attack, where Hamas attacked Israel.
Official recognition by Paris of a Palestinian state would constitute a significant change in French politics and is expected to trigger harsh reactions from Israel, which opposes such movements by calling them premature.
