France signals to recognize Palestinian state soon: Macron

In an interview with international media, Macron said, “I want to finalize this decision in June at a UN conference on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which will be jointly hosted by France and Saudi Arabia.”

He added that we have to move towards recognition, and we will do so in the coming months. I am not doing this to please anyone, but I will do this when I feel it is right.

On the other hand, Palestinian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Warsin Aghabekian Shaheen told the media that recognition by France would be a correct step in line with the rights of the Palestinian people and the protection of the two-state solution.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump has said that the Turkish president has done what no one could do in 2,000 years.

“I congratulated the Turkish president on the victory of the rebels in Syria and the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad,” he said.

“I told the Turkish president that you did what no one could do in 2,000 years, you captured Syria, even if it was under different names, but that’s the reality.

Trump said: “Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan denied any role in Syria, but I insisted that it was you, but let’s not matter.”

He said this in response to a question from an Israeli journalist about Turkiye’s role on the Syrian issue.

He added: “I have a very good relationship with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. I like him and he likes me too.”
