French President Emmanuel Macron has revealed the main factor that led him to decide on the recognition of Palestine in July. According to him, the Israeli Parliament's decision to expand settlements in the West Bank of the Jordan River had a decisive impact on his stance. Macron considers this step wrong and dangerous for the future of the region.
The editorial office reports that Macron emphasized the absence of Hamas in the West Bank. He stated that Israel intends to eliminate the two-state solution, which could have serious consequences for both the region and Israel. Macron assessed this as a historical mistake by Israel.
According to the President, France will remain committed to international law and the principle of a two-state solution on this issue. He also called on the international community to take responsible steps, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing all opportunities for lasting peace in the region.
