France officially recognizes the statehood of Palestine
France has recognized Palestinian statehood. This was announced by President Emmanuel Macron on September 22.

Speaking at the 80th UN General Assembly, the French leader clarified that he made this decision “in the interests of peace.”
Macron announced back in July that he would formally declare Palestine's recognition at the UN General Assembly, as he sees ending the war in the Gaza Strip and providing aid to civilians in the region as his top priority. He claimed this decision was justified by the opportunity to exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
