NEW YORK, 22 Sept. - (ANA) - President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that France is officially recognizing the state of Palestine. 

 

The move came during a U.N. conference chaired by France and Saudi Arabia aimed at generating new support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which long precedes the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

 

France and Saudi Arabia will convene dozens of world leaders to rally support for a two-state solution, with several of them expected to formally recognise a Palestinian state - a move that could draw harsh Israeli and US responses.    - (ANA) -
