France could Recognise Palestinian State by June 2025 says President Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France may formally recognize a Palestinian state in the coming months, potentially finalizing the decision at a United Nations conference co-hosted with Saudi Arabia in June as he further emphasized the move would support a two-state solution and reinforce France’s stance against those denying Israel’s right to exist. While Palestinian officials welcomed the announcement as a step toward safeguarding their rights, Israel condemned the idea of unilateral recognition, arguing it would embolden Hamas and hinder peace efforts.
