French President Emmanuel Macron underlined his commitment to resolving the Israel-Palestinian problem through a two-state solution on Wednesday, stressing that France's Middle East policy maintains no double standards, according to Reuters.

Speaking in Indonesia, Macron indicated that France is leaning towards recognizing a Palestinian state, a decision that could upset Israel and deepen divisions within the Western alliance.

 “Only a political solution will make it possible to restore peace and build for the long term,” Macron said.

He also announced plans to co-organize a conference with Saudi Arabia in New York. The event aims to advance the recognition of both the Palestinian state and Israel’s right to live in peace and security in the region, Reuters reported.
