Macron promises French recognition of “the state of Palestine” at the UN in September

French President Emmanuel Macron went to X on Thursday to announce his intention for France to recognize “the state of Palestine” in the United Nations General Assembly next September.

“The French people want peace in the Middle East,” Macron wrote in a shared letter and translated into English on X. “It is to us, to the French, with the Israelis, the Palestinians and our European and international partners, to demonstrate that it is possible.”

The letter, addressed to the president of the Palestinian authority, said that “peace was possible”.

Macron cited the need for an “immediate cease-fire” as well as the release of all hostages and humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of Gaza in his reasoning for France’s decision. He also said that Hamas should be demilitarized and Gaza rebuilt in his letter.
