In recent days, eleven countries have officially recognized the State of Palestine. France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Andorra, Malta, Monaco and San Marino have been the lastto take the step, at the summit held this Monday in New York to define the steps to implement the two-state solution and on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly.

75% of the countries that make up the United Nations have recognized the State of Palestine following the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. 

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, took the step of his approval last night at the summit held this Monday in New York to define the steps to be taken to implement the solution of the A0bi states.

However, he has stressed that this recognition of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people does not detract from the rights of the people of Israel, "which France has protected from the very beginning." E, "this recognitionis a failure for Hamas, for all those who promote anti-Semitism and fuel anti-Zionist obsessions and want the State of Israel to be destroyed. "


France has the largest Jewish community in Europe, has historically been one of Israel's most loyal allies, and has a permanent (and consequently a right of veto) seat on the UN Security Council, and is also one of the world's leading economies.

For his part, the Israeli representative to the UN, Danny Danon, has rejected the summit as "theatre." The Israeli ambassador has stated that the recognition of Palestine as a state will have a response, but at the same time emphasizing that they are a "peaceful nation."
