The Palestinian Authority hails the formal recognition of a Palestinian state by French President Emmanuel Macron as a “historic and courageous decision.”
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomes the recognition of the State of Palestine by the friendly Republic of France, considering it a historic and courageous decision that is consistent with international law and United Nations resolutions and supports ongoing efforts to achieve peace and implement the two-state solution,” the PA’s foreign ministry in Ramallah says in a statement.
