France will recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September! The United States refuses to participate in the UN Middle East meeting promoted by France!

French President Macron announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.

"I have decided that France recognizes the State of Palestine, and I will solemnly announce this at the UN General Assembly this September. The most important thing now is to immediately stop the war in Gaza and help the Palestinian civilians."

"It is necessary to ensure the demilitarization of the Palestinian Hamas movement and the security and reconstruction of Gaza. Finally, we must establish a Palestinian state that ensures its viability, allowing it to accept demilitarization and fully recognize Israel, contributing to the security of all people in the Middle East."

Tommy Piggot, Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Public Affairs, announced that Washington has no intention of participating in the high-level international conference promoted by France and Saudi Arabia from July 28 to 30 in New York at the United Nations Headquarters, aimed at achieving a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"There is nothing to add; we will not attend this meeting."
