Speaking at a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Macron described recognizing a Palestinian state as "the only path to peace."
Macron stressed the urgent need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the importance of a unified stance.
Prime Minister Starmer reaffirmed the UK's commitment to a just political settlement of the Palestinian issue, highlighting the need for regional stability.
The Palestinian Authority has welcomed Macron's statements, viewing them as positive steps toward securing stability in the Middle East.
