"I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will solemnly announce this at the UN General Assembly in September of this year," he wrote on the social network X.
Macron added that the main task at the moment is to immediately end the war in the Gaza Strip and provide emergency medical care to the civilian population.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on April 11, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that peace in the Middle East would only be possible after the creation

Some opponents of countries unilaterally recognizing a Paleostinian state maintain that the move is merely symbolic when done without cooperation with Israel, adding that that a Paleostinian state can only be the result of negotiations between both sides of the conflict. But supporters of the move say the current Israeli government is uninterested in such talks or in a two-state solution and that the framework can therefore only be advanced through diplomatic pressure.
At least 142 countries now recognize or plan to recognize Paleostinian statehood, according to an AFP tally. Several countries have announced plans to recognize statehood for the Paleostinians since the outbreak of the Gaza war, which was sparked by Hamas
