France formally recognises Palestinian state
France officially recognized a Palestinian state and became the last of the wave of a country.
Speaking at the UN in New York, President Emmanuel Macron said, “Peace is time to come” and “does not justify the ongoing war in Gaza,” he said.
France and Saudi Arabia host a one -day summit that focuses on a two -state solution plans in the UN General Assembly. G7, Germany, Italy and the United States do not participate, he says.
Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino, England, Canada, Australia and Portugal are known on Sunday after the announcement of the Palestinian state.
International pressure on Israel is increasing on the developing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza and Settlement Building in the West Bank.
Israel said that the Palestinian armed group would reward Hamas for the attack on Southern Israel on October 7, 2023 and that about 1,200 people were killed and 251 hostage.
According to the Ministry of Health, operated by Hamas of Gaza, more than 65,000 Palestinians were killed by Israel. The Israeli forces are currently carrying out a ground attack that aims to seize the control of Gaza City, where one million people live and confirmed last month.
The French leader told the conference that it was time to stop the war and to release the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas. He warned against the danger of eternal wars, and said, “Hak must always dominate the Might.”
The international community could not build a fair and permanent peace in the Middle East, “” Israel and Palestine should do everything we can to protect the possibility of a two -state solution that will see peace and security side by side. “
Farhan Al Saud, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, addressed the UN on behalf of the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The only way to achieve permanent peace in the region reiterated that a two -state solution is again.
European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen said the EU would establish a new financial vehicle to work on the reconstruction of Gaza.
“We all have to do more,” he said to the UN General Assembly. “That’s why we will establish a Palestinian Donor group.”
The UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres mentioned the situation in Gaza as “moral, legally and politically unbearable” and said that a two -state solution was the “only reliable way” for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
After the US itself and other Palestinian officials cancel the visas, Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, who was prevented from participating in the UN General Assembly personally, handled the conference through Videolink.
He called for a permanent ceasefire and said that Hamas might have no role in Gaza administration and that the group wanted the group to “delivered his weapons to the Palestinian authority (PA).
“What we want is an unarmed united state,” he said.
Abbas also condemned Hamas’s attack on Southern Israel on October 7, 2023 and addressed the Israelis: “Our future and yours depends on peace. Enough violence and war.”
Macron asked for a transition management that France is ready to contribute to a “stabilization task” in Gaza and to control the dismantling of Hamas, which contains PA.
The authority said that France’s hostages held by Hamas were released and would open an embassy to the Palestinian state when the ceasefire was accepted.
Israel’s Ambassador of UN Danny Dannon spoke to journalists shortly before Macron’s announcement.
Dannon said that after the October 7 attack, a two -state solution was taken from the “table” and that this week was looking for talks in the UN “Charade”. He also refused to annex Israel’s occupied West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that there would be no Palestinian state in the west of the Jordan River, and President Isaac Herzog said that the person would only “strengthen the powers of darkness”.
Prior to Macron’s announcement, Palestinian and Israeli flags were exhibited in the Eiffel Tower on Sunday night. A series of municipal halls in France fly Palestinian flags on Monday, despite the government’s order of protecting neutrality to local wear.
Pro -Palestinian protests also took place in some 80 towns and cities in ItalyGiorgia said that recognizing a recent state that has recently existed can be “productive”.
In Germany, the government announced that the Palestinian state is not ready to argue at the moment and that Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul went to New York on Monday, “The recognition of a Palestinian state comes more at the end of the process. However, this process should start now,” he said.
