As expected, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed recognition of the Palestinian state.
France joined a wave of countries that have done so in recent weeks.
Before announcing recognition of the Palestinian state by France, Macron told the UN that the time has come to stop the war in Gaza and free the remaining 48 hostages held by Hamas, reports BBC.
He says the world is just moments away from being able to achieve peace and adds: “we can't wait any longer. ”
Macron condemns the October 7th attacks and says he wants to see peace in the region created by having two states living side by side.
Nothing justifies the ongoing fight”, Macron says, adding that “everything forces us” to take it to a final end.
United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Portugal have officially recognised the state of Palestine on Sunday. /Periscopi/
