The ultimate goal of Macron is to show that there is a global counterbalance to US President Donald Trump of Israel’s War in Gas, and to increase pressure to achieve peace, according to the material.
However, Macron’s attempt to act as a “single front” shows the EU disconnection on the Middle East.
Germany, Italy, Greece and the Netherlands do not reach Palestine’s recognition. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will not even come to New York, and the Italian Prime Minister George Meloni from Italy insists that she does not support the recognition of the Palestinian state “before it is created.”
According to one European diplomat who wished to remain anonymous, the risk was that “Israel would concede” because international pressure on it was increasing.
Not in favor of recognizing the Palestinian state “before its creation”, and will arrive the day after Macron’s event.
However, the diplomat acknowledged that, apparently, this risk is not justified: “It seems that it will not happen. The US is supported by Israel, and he accelerates the annexation of the west shore.”
Another diplomat said that while Israel has the support of “its great ally, the United States, with their iron dome” … nothing will change. ”
However, for many observers, Macron’s initiative is aimed not so much to achieve immediate effect, but to create a turning point in European relations with Israel.
Macron announced that he would hold a conference on Palestine’s recognition on September 22.
He considers the recognition of France and other Western countries of the Palestinian state as a significant step to peace in the Middle East.
We will remind, in French politics the split as to whether it is worth celebrating the future recognition of France of the Palestinian state, raising the Palestinian flags before the city halls throughout the country.
