French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot affirmed on Tuesday his country's intention to recognize the State of Palestine, emphasizing that peace and stability cannot be achieved in the shadow of violence and the absence of justice.
"We are determined to recognize the State of Palestine," Barrow said in a press statement, adding that "the current Israeli occupation government is holding Tel Aviv's security hostage," referring to its escalating policies in the Palestinian territories.
He added, "It is not possible to build peace and stability on the basis of violence and injustice," stressing the need to find a comprehensive political solution that guarantees the rights of Palestinians and fulfills their national aspirations.
