The French Minister of Foreign Affairs co-hosted a conference at the UN next week about a two-state solution. Last month, Macron expressed his “determination to recognize the state of Palestine”, and he put pressure for a wider movement towards a solution to two states, parallel to the recognition of Israel and his right to defend himself.
Thursday’s announcement came shortly after The United States has cut discussions on the ceasefire in Gaza in Qatarsaying that Hamas did not show good faith.
Momentum has been built against Israel in recent days. Earlier this week, France and More than two dozen, mainly European countries have condemned the restrictions of Israel to help shipments on the territory and killings of hundreds of Palestinians trying to reach food.
The Palestinians seek an independent state in occupied West Bank, annexed Jerusalem-Est and Gaza, territories that Israel occupied in the war in the Middle East of 1967. The Israeli government and most of its political class have long been opposed to the Palestinian State and now say that it would reward the activists after the attack on Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Israel annexed East Jerusalem little time after the 1967 War and considers it as part of its capital. In the West Bank, he built dozens of colonies, some resembling tentacular suburbs, which now house more than 500,000 Jewish settlers with Israeli citizenship. The 3 million Palestinians in the territory live under the Israeli military regime, the Palestinian authority exercising limited autonomy in population centers.
