Israeli warning on Palestinian state recognition by France
The recognition of a Palestinian state by France, which could occur in June according to President Emmanuel Macron, has been condemned by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. He stated that such a unilateral recognition of a "fictional Palestinian state" would be seen as a "reward for terrorism," further supporting Hamas. Saar added that actions like this would not bring peace, security, or stability to the region but would instead move them further away from it.
In an interview on the France 5 program "C'est à vous" on Wednesday, President Macron announced that Paris may officially recognize a Palestinian state in June, during a conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia at the United Nations in New York. Macron emphasized that the recognition of a Palestinian state would be part of a broader process towards a two-state solution.
This announcement was welcomed by Palestinian Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, who described it as "a step in the right direction." The upcoming conference in June is focused on creating a Palestinian state, with growing calls for a "two-state solution" alongside Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza war, which began with a Hamas attack in Israel on October 7, 2023. Nearly 150 countries have already recognized the Palestinian state, with countries like Ireland, Norway, and Spain making formal steps in 2024.
However, the proposed two-state solution is firmly opposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
