France: We Are Determined to Recognize Palestine as a State
France’s Foreign Minister asserts Paris is determined to recognize Palestinian statehood.
According to webangah News Agency, French Foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated in an interview with the LCI network that France remains committed to recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state. This move will occur within the framework of joint efforts to establish conditions for Palestinian statehood.
Barrot also referenced the killing of 500 Palestinians and injuries to 4,000 others during humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza last May.
The minister described Gaza’s aid distribution process as “shameful and degrading to human dignity.”
the statement comes despite France being one of Israel’s key supporters in both political and military spheres.
