According to his words, recognizing Palestine is "not only a moral duty but also a political necessity".
Macron emphasized that European countries must toughen their stance towards Israel if it does not address the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. He also mentioned that France might consider imposing sanctions against Israel.
According to his words, recognizing the state of Palestine is "not only a moral duty but also a political necessity".
Macron's statement has sparked widespread discussions in the international community. While some countries support France's position, others criticize it. The Israeli government has condemned it as a "reward for terrorism".
There are various positions in the international community regarding the recognition of the Palestinian state. In 2024, Ireland, Norway, and Spain announced their official recognition of Palestine. France approaches this issue cautiously, aiming to proceed with recognition at a "beneficial time".
These events could mark a new phase in international politics. Macron's statement may serve as an impetus for the European Union and other international organizations to reconsider their positions on the Palestine issue.
