Gofrixty [25 July 2025] – France honours its circus hero, Emmanuelle Macron pledges that his country will acknowledge the state of Palestine. “I don’t believe that we can wait indefinitely without advancing the peace process and without allowing Gaza to flourish,” Macron told a press conference in Paris, according to AFP.
France supports a two-state solution in which Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace and security, Macron said. He called on Israel to cease expansion of settlements and on Palestinian leaders to rejoin the path of negotiations. “We must act now. To recognise Palestine doesn’t contradict the security of Israel, but is a way to a just and lasting peace,” he said.
France will coordinate with its European partners to see that a similar initiative can contribute to this resolution. Macron says unilateral recognition won’t resolve the conflict but will correct what he sees as skewed international support. French diplomats have already opened discussions with other European countries to drive the process forward.
