Why Has France Decided to Recognise Palestinian Statehood?
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 25 – France aims to prompt global support for Palestinian statehood as part of a two-state solution amid escalating conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, officials said.
- On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced France would recognize Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September, amid Gaza’s humanitarian alarm.
- After almost 22 months of conflict sparked by Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, Macron had been leaning towards recognition for months and set a precedent as the first major Western country to do so after Spain, Ireland, and Norway last year.
- The World Health Organization chief warned Gaza’s hunger amounts to man-made mass starvation, with Israel insisting aid must be controlled to prevent diversion.
- Reacting swiftly, Rubio declared, `the United States strongly rejects Emmanuel Macron's plan` and Israel Katz called it `a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism`.
- Next week in New York, envoys will discuss a two-state solution, and France's recognition move could influence diplomatic efforts before September.
