France will recognize a Palestinian state, French President Emmanuel Macron wrote in an X/Twitter post on Thursday.
“True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine,” wrote Macron.
He continued, stating he would make the solemn announcement at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
“The urgency today is to end the war in Gaza and to provide aid to the civilian population. Peace is possible,” he added.
Macron further stressed that, “there must be an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. It is also necessary to ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza.”
