France recognized the Palestinian state as it hosted a world summit in New York on Monday, nearly two years after the war in Gaza began.
The European nation has joined Britain, Canada, Portugal and Australia, who all made the same historic move on Sunday and were rebuked by Israel.
“We must do everything within our power to preserve the very possibility of a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security,” Macron said at the beginning of a planned three-hour session at the United Nations.
