France’s Macron calls for UK support on Gaza

London: French President Emmanuel Macron, who is paying a state visit to the United Kingdom, has addressed both houses of the British parliament and called for an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, reports Al Jazeera.

He then urged the UK to work together with France on recognising a Palestinian state, calling it “the only path to peace”.

“With Gaza in ruin and West Bank being on a daily basis attacked, the perspective of a Palestinian state has never been put at risk as it is,” Macron said. “And this is why this solution of the two states and the recognition of the State of Palestine is… the only way to build peace and stability for all in the whole region.”
