French President Emmanuel Macron urged international action over Gaza and the occupied West Bank, reaffirming France’s support for a two-state solution.
New York, United States. French President Emmanuel Macron questioned the international community’s credibility over the war in Gaza, urging countries to act on the situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Macron defended a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians and criticised what he described as continued international inaction.
Call for international action
“What is our credibility if we continue to remain inactive on Gaza?” Macron asked during his address.
He said it was unacceptable to watch events in Gaza and the West Bank without taking steps to address the situation.
Two-state solution
Macron said establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel was necessary for the security of Israel and its people.
“The two-state solution is a prerequisite for the security of Israel and its people,” he said.
West Bank violence
Macron also condemned the ongoing escalation in settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
His remarks came during a debate on the war in Gaza and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as he reaffirmed France’s support for a political settlement based on two states.
