Hamas said on Thursday that the announcement by President Emmanuel Macron that France could recognize a Palestinian kingdom by June, was a “important step”, when Israel’s Foreign Minister slammed the plan.
Hamas officer Mahmud Mardavi told AFP, “We welcome statements about their country’s readiness to recognize the state of Palestine by French President Emmanuel Macron.”
He said the announcement is “an important step, which is implemented, which will constitute a positive change in international status towards our Palestinian people’s legitimate national rights”.
On Wednesday, Macron said that France plans to recognize a Palestinian kingdom within months and may carry forward the move at the United Nations Conference in New York in June.
“We must move towards recognition, and we will do so in the coming months,” Macron, who visited Egypt this week, told France 5 television.
