French Decision Reflects Growing Int’l Conviction in Justice of Palestinian Cause: Hamas
The decision was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday.
Hamas described the declaration as “a positive step in the right direction” toward justice for the Palestinian people and support for their right to self-determination and an independent state on all occupied Palestinian land, with Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
It called the French stance “a political development that reflects growing international conviction in the justice of the Palestinian cause and the failure of the Israeli occupation to distort facts or suppress the will of free nations.”
Hamas added that such international steps “represent political and moral pressure” on the Israeli regime.
Macron said in a post on X that he will officially announce France’s recognition of the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.
“In line with our historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine,” he said.
