Emmanuel Macron announces that France recognizes the state of Palestine: "The time for peace has come, because we are one step away from no longer being able to benefit from it."

"The time has come to recognize a friendly and neighboring Palestinian state and to drive away the ugly face of terrorism from these lands. We are here because the time has come. The time has come to free the 48 hostages, to stop the massacres" in Gaza. "The time for peace has come, because we are on the verge of no longer being able to benefit from it," continued Emmanuel Macron.
