France Considers Recognizing Palestinian State in June at UN Conference Co-led with Saudi Arabia

French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Wednesday that France might recognize a Palestinian state in June. The potential recognition could occur during an international conference co-led by France and Saudi Arabia in New York. Macron emphasized the decision would align with a "just" and well-considered approach, independent of external pressures. He aims for a collective recognition through a multilateral initiative. This move could influence other European nations to follow suit, potentially shifting diplomatic dynamics in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
