French President Emmanuel Macron has said that recognizing the State of Palestine is the only path to lasting peace and stability in the region. He made this statement during his official state visit to the United Kingdom—the first by a European Union leader since Brexit.
Addressing British lawmakers, President Macron urged the UK to join France in officially supporting Palestine’s statehood. He also called for continued support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and encouraged both countries to reduce their dependence on global powers like the United States and China.
Macron stressed that unity between France and the UK is essential for tackling today’s major global challenges. These include resolving conflicts, fighting climate change, and ensuring international security.
He highlighted the need for closer cooperation between the two nations, saying that when Britain and France stand together, they can play a more powerful role on the world stage.
Macron’s visit aimed to rebuild and strengthen diplomatic relations between the two countries, which have faced strain since the UK left the EU. He emphasized that Europe must stay united to promote peace and protect its own future.
The French president’s message was clear: lasting change requires shared effort. By recognizing Palestine and working together on global issues, France and the UK can help shape a more peaceful and stable world.
