What consequences could France’s recognition of a Palestinian state have?
Ofer Bronchtein: It will create momentum. France is a great power, a member of the United Nations Security Council, and of the G7. When it moves, it will bring with it other very important countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium, etc. It’s a small diplomatic tsunami.
I’ve urged Macron to take this step since becoming his adviser in 2020. It is essential to ensure Israel’s security and its recognition by Arab and Muslim states. This war must stop; it no longer makes sense.
