Today, Wednesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh called on France and the countries of the world to take measures to stop the incitement practiced by extremist Israeli officials against the Palestinian people, and not to give them platforms to express their racism.

During his meeting with the French Consul General in Jerusalem, Rene Trokaz, Shtayyeh welcomed the statement of the French Foreign Ministry, which denounced the statements of the Israeli Minister Smotrich in Paris, through which he denied the historical existence of the Palestinians.

He said, "The extremist ministers in the Israeli government represent a trend that pushes for more settlements, killing, and destroying the possibility of a two-state solution."

Shtayyeh added, "The Knesset's approval of the law abolishing the disengagement law, which allows the return to 4 settlements in the West Bank, means a decision to reoccupy the West Bank, as it coincides with more incursions, killings, and land confiscation."

Shtayyeh renewed France's call for recognition of Palestine, considering that this is the right time to protect the two-state solution and for France to be a model for other European countries towards recognition.
