France's President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday there should be an end to the "systematic postponement" of both the implementation of a two-state solution in Israel-Palestine and the setting up of a Palestinian state.
"(Macron) asserted France's commitment to work, with its European and Arab partners, on a shared vision of peace that offers security guarantees to Palestinians and Israelis," the French presidential palace said in a statement in the wake of a phone exchange between the French president and his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas.
This process should entail "a perspective of recognizing the Palestinian State in a useful dynamic," the Elysee added.
