Falsin, the Palestinian Foreign Secretary of State, said on the evening of the 9th local time that the French might recognize the State of Palestine as“A step in the right direction.”, consistent with upholding the rights of the Palestinian people and the two-state solution.
According to French media reports, French President Maqueron said on the 9th, the French may recognize the State of Palestine in June.
Maqueron said in an interview broadcast on French television channel 5 on the 9th that France and Saudi Arabia plan to jointly hold a conference on the Palestinian issue in New York this June, the French may then recognise the State of Palestine. He argues that it is“Right” to recognise State of Palestine when the time is right. Maqueron stressed the importance of a political solution to the Israeli-palestinian conflict and called on some countries that support the Palestinians to recognize the Israelis.
Maqueron said on several occasions last year that recognition of State of Palestine was not“Taboo” for the country.
