Palestinians are celebrating President Emmanuel Macron's decision that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly. This move is seen as a significant victory for the Palestinian cause.

Hussein al-Sheikh, a top aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, praised France's decision. He stated it reflects France's strong commitment to international law and its unwavering support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state.

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas also lauded France's pledge. They urged all nations to follow suit, regardless of Israeli opposition, emphasizing the importance of this step towards justice for the Palestinian people.

Hamas highlighted the move as a "positive step in the right direction." They believe it supports the legitimate right of Palestinians to determine their own future and establish their independent state.

This widespread Palestinian approval underscores the deep desire for international recognition and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. It sends a clear message about the global call for justice.

France's decision sets a powerful precedent, potentially inspiring other countries to acknowledge the State of Palestine and contribute to a just and lasting peace in the region.
