Palestine recognition
SPD foreign politician expresses understanding for Macron
The federal government can only imagine Palestine’s recognition at the end of a negotiation process. This does not correspond to the decision of the smaller coalition partner SPD.
The SPD foreign politician Adis Ahmetović has understood the planned recognition of a Palestinian state by France. “The announcement by President Macron, to recognize Palestine as a state, is a comprehensible step from the perspective of French foreign policy,” said the foreign policy spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group of the German Press Agency. He emphasized that Palestine’s recognition as a state “not necessarily” only had to be a two -state solution at the end of the path.
He deviates from the attitude that was previously communicated by the federal government. “The recognition of a Palestinian state (the government) continues to be one of the final steps on the way to realizing a two -state solution,” said government spokesman Stefan Kornelius in a first reaction.
“Not necessarily at the end of a process”
The expression of Ahmetović corresponds to a party parliamentary decision of the SPD from June – almost two months after the swearing in the cabinet – in which it says: “Our goal remains the peaceful coexistence of two sovereign and viable states in the context of a negotiation solution. The recognition of a Palestinian state does not have to be at the end of a process.”
Macron surprisingly announced Palestine’s recognition on Thursday evening – as the first state of the G7 leading western industrialized nations.
