Le Monde: recognition of the State of Palestine is a necessity to avoid an endless war Political news

The French newspaper Le Monde confirmed in its editorial today, Saturday, that it strongly supports President Emmanuel Macron’s initiative to recognize the State of Palestine, and described it as an initiative consistent with France’s principles.

She added that France has always supported the two -state solution, and stated that it was the horizon that came in the plan to divide Palestine during the British Mandate during which it was voted in November 1947.

She explained that recognition of the State of Palestine means recognizing the existence of a Palestinian people, which is something that no one can deny.

And it added that those lands consisting of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank were occupied by Israel and settled by force, highlighting that the failure to accept this occupation is another basic principle of international law, it may not have any exception.

The State of Palestine

She explained that this recognition is also a recognition of Israel by the countries that refused this until now, and a final acceptance of the Hebrew state by the Palestinians themselves, and it is an indispensable guarantee for its security.

Regarding the argument of those who reject the recognition of the State of Palestine that the time is inappropriate, as it will be considered a victory for the responsible Hamas movement, according to their claim, on what happened on October 7, 2023, Le Monde said that this argument can only be accepted if everyone turns a blind eye to what is happening now in Gaza and the West Bank, highlighting that President Macron knows that France cannot wait more to join the overwhelming majority of the United Nations.

She stressed that Israel is definitely not only on every occasion by its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there will never be a Palestinian state, but rather is making its best to prevent this.

The Israeli solution to the Palestinian issue was never more clear as it is now, as it is working to destroy Gaza, and seeks to displace the Palestinians from the West Bank, and imprison them in a similar “pantocostat” as in the era of the apartheid in South Africa

She added that the Israeli solution to the Palestinian issue was never clearly more clear, as it is working to destroy Gaza, to displace the largest possible number of its residents, as well as its continuous endeavor to displace the Palestinians from the West Bank, and imprison them in a similar “pantocostati” as in the era of the apartheid in South Africa, where they are subjected to military, economic and humanitarian pressures aimed at making their departure an inevitable matter.

She explained that the France initiative is accompanied by a call for disarmament and a final removal of Hamas from the government.

The newspaper pointed out that the recognition of the State of Palestine will not suffice to achieve peace, and stressed in return that giving up this step means expediting the destruction of the two -state solution, which means an endless war.

The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday evening that Lisbon will officially recognize tomorrow, Sunday, in the State of Palestine, before the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.

The intention of France and others recognized a Palestinian state in light of the war on Gaza and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Strip, a severe condemnation by Israel, which sees in this step a “reward” of Hamas.

The French presidency warned, on Friday, that Israel’s annexation of the occupied West Bank is a red line, and in an interview with the Israeli Channel 12, the French president said that building settlements in the West Bank is evidence that the goal is not to dismantle Hamas, but rather to eliminate the two -state solution.

The American Politico website recently quoted European officials that Israel was crystallizing multiple options to respond to the recognition of France and other countries in the State of Palestine, which may include accelerating the annexation of the West Bank, closing the French consulate in occupied Jerusalem, and “infringing on French lands in Israel, such as the Christian Mazar of Euna.”
