Macron to Recognize Palestine at UN General Assembly in September
FRANCE, JUL 25 – France will become the first major Western nation to recognize Palestine, aiming to support peace and pressure Israel amid a Gaza crisis with over 59,000 deaths, officials said.
- On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced France will recognize Palestine at the UN in September, the first major Western power to do so, in a move supporting peace efforts.
- Facing international and domestic pressure, Macron had considered recognition for months to keep the two-state solution alive, as France and over two dozen European countries condemned Israel’s aid restrictions and killings.
- Data shows that 67 Gazans were killed near a UN aid convoy, aid groups warn, as mass starvation worsens, according to Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam and others.
- In Washington, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz called it 'a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism,' while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it was 'this reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace.'
- The ministerial meeting on July 28 and 29 will occur, followed by a heads-of-state gathering at the UNGA in September, which could encourage other countries to follow France's lead.
