France recognizes Palestinian state

France recognizes Palestinian state ahead of UN meeting. President Emmanuel Macron made the relevant statement on September 22 at an international conference on finding a solution to the Palestinian problem and implementing the "two-state" formula, held at the UN with the participation of France and Saudi Arabia.

In his speech, Macron condemned the attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023. However, he said that peace must be achieved before it is too late.

"Some say it's too late. Some say it's too early. But one truth is clear - we can't wait any longer," Macron said.

He also reminded that promises to establish a Palestinian state have not been fulfilled.

For your information, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco and Belgium also recognized the state of Palestine at the UN event. Canada, Britain, Portugal and Australia recognized Palestine 2 days ago.
