[cont’d] #Palestine / Macron Pushes for End to Two-State Solution Delays
Macron called for an end to the "systematic postponement" of implementing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establishing an independent Palestinian state. He stated this process should involve a "perspective of recognizing the Palestinian State" as part of a constructive dynamic.
The comments came after a phone call between Macron and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Macron appears to be pushing to break the longstanding stalemate and delays in resolving the conflict through the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, as part of a negotiated two-state solution.
