Europe Fractures Over Palestine? Italy’s Meloni Rejects France’s Recognition Push As ‘Illusion’ | World News
Rome: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reduced France’s decision to get to know the Palestinian state, and said that such symbolic gestures left the world with the risk of believing that there is no solution.
Speaking with La Repubblica on Saturday, Meloni said, “I am in favor of the Palestinian province, but I’m not in favor of recognition before its establishment.”
“If something that doesn’t exist is recognized on paper, it may seem to be solved when there is no problem,” he said.
The statement came at a time when France’s president Emmanuel Macron was preparing to report “historical” at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
Macron, “I decided that France will recognize the Palestinian province when he was faithful to a fair and permanent peace in the Middle East.”
The message appeared on both X and Instagram, and since then it has been echoed on international headlines.
France’s pivot is more than symbolic. According to the AFP number, it puts one of the EU’s basic forces in the camp of 142 countries that already recognize Palestinian state. This includes large countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but it excludes the United States, Germany and Italy, especially.
Like Italy, Germany pointed out his hesitation. Berlin has made it clear that Macron was not ready to follow the leadership, but rather in principle, rather than confirming it, emphasizing the need to “progress for a long time için towards a two -state solution.
However, Macron’s announcement revived the tensions with Israel and the United States, both against the unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state for a long time. According to diplomats compatible with Tel Aviv and Washington, fear is that such movements can draw the edge of the negotiations and strengthen the hardliners.
The historical bow, which began in 1947 and approved a decision that began in 1947 and divides the British compulsory Palestine into two separate assets, a Jew and an Arab. The following year Israel declared the state. Meanwhile, the Arab state was caught in the limo without a united government, but defined boundaries recognized by many people.
Meloni’s concern is based on this unresolved reality. While being carefully expressed, he warned that early recognition could strengthen the illusion of peace without surrendering it, and both the Israelis and the Palestinians were stuck in the limo where diplomacy could not escape for generations.
