Macron says France to recognize a Palestinian state

French President Emmanuel Macron said today that France will recognize a Palestinian state in September. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision would “reward terror,” and his defense minister described it as a “disgrace, a surrender to terror.”

France expects other nations to recognize a Palestinian state in September, official says

France will not be alone in recognizing a Palestinian state in September, a senior official in the French presidency told CNN today after President Emmanuel Macron’s surprise announcement.

“I’ve had other colleagues on the phone, and I’m sure that we won’t be the only ones recognizing Palestine in September,” the official told CNN.

France, with Saudi Arabia, has been shepherding allies toward a recognition for weeks already.

Nevertheless, “the idea is to put a bit of pressure on other countries,” the official added.

A planned summit to be co-hosted with Riyadh in July was postponed due to the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Iran. The meeting has now been pushed back to September around the United Nations General Assembly with world leaders already gathered in New York.
