Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.
I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.
The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population.
Peace is possible.
We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region.
There is no alternative.
The French people want peace in the Middle East. It is our responsibility โ as French citizens, alongside Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners โ to prove that peace is possible.
In light of the commitments made to me by the President of the Palestinian Authority, I have written to him to express my determination to move forward.
Trust, clarity, and resolve.
We will achieve peace.
@elonmusk How about what's going on in Gaza why don't you use your political Influence to pressure Israel to stop mass murdering civilians. Genocide and collective punishment are not traits of a morally driven country. It's appalling what is allowed to happen while the world watches
@Being_Pagan@BRICSinfo Not a real country and its an imposter country that commits war crimes. The world has witnessed that the atrocities they commit are up their with the worst in the world. Not a morally driven society actually the entire opposite of a morally driven society
@MarkHeath45 Pretty racist statement it's a democracy those people got voted in. Its the same thing as saying there are too many Jewish people In power literally the same argument yet it's anti Semitic to say against one but not the other
