Global leaders are celebrating French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to recognize the State of Palestine this September. They see this as a pivotal move toward securing lasting peace in the Middle East.

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris quickly welcomed Macron's announcement on X, highlighting the international support building for Palestinian recognition. This shows a growing consensus among nations.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also voiced strong support. He emphasized the critical need to preserve a path to a negotiated settlement, stressing that "The two-state solution is the only solution." Sanchez's comments underscore a unified European approach.

Scottish First Minister John Swinney joined the chorus, urging the UK government to follow France's lead. This reflects a broader call for more nations to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.

Saudi Arabia heartily welcomed Macron's declaration, urging other countries to do the same. Their foreign ministry stated it "reaffirms the international community's consensus on the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state."

This widespread international endorsement of France's decision signals a significant shift in diplomatic efforts, pushing for a future where a State of Palestine is globally recognized.
