In September, a summit of heads of state and government is planned to advance a two -state solution – i.e. the peaceful coexistence of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. The UN conference planned under the joint chair of France and Saudi Arabia was postponed in June because of the war between Israel and Iran.
So far, according to a count of the AFP news agency, 142 countries have already recognized a Palestinian state worldwide. The United States and Israel, on the other hand, reject the construction of a Palestinian state.
Macron had repeatedly recognized a Palestinian state in the past few months. At the end of May, he had said, among other things, that the “creation of a Palestinian state” was not only a moral duty under conditions “, but a political necessity”.
