French President Emmanuel Macron addresses delegates during a high-level meeting of heads of state at United Nations headquarters in New York, and said: “Today, I declare that France recognises the State of Palestine.”
“This is the very reason today here, in this chamber, we must pave the way for peace.” He added.
The French leader thanked other nations that have also recognized a state of Palestine in recent days. “They answered our call issued in July, and took the responsible choice, the necessary choice, the choice to opt for peace,” he said.
