The question of recognising the Palestinian state is no longer forbidden for France, French President Emmanuel Macron says.
The British news agency Reuters reported that Paris could take the initiative to recognise Palestine if the bilateral solution was stuck due to Israeli disputes.Reuters says the real situation will not change if only the Palestinian state recognises the real discussion. However, the symbolic and diplomatic importance of this recognition will have many implications.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes Palestine’s independence, saying he will not compromise on Jordan’s full control of western security. If France recognises Palestine, then Netanyahu’s goal will stumble.
French lawmakers voted on the 21st and urged their state to recognise Palestine.
The impatience among Western leaders over the attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza is indicative of Macron’s statement.
Earlier, the United States said it was thinking about the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
