French President Emanuel Mcno is increasingly inclined to recognize the Palestinian state. Paris believes that this can be an important step, but only the symbolic gesture will not be enough to put pressure on Israel.
World diplomats warn that such a step may deepen the division of the West, and Israeli lobbyists are actively trying to change the position of France.
Makron has already stated that only a political solution can establish peace in the region, emphasizing that France and Saudi Arabia are going to hold a conference in New York in June. However, according to some experts, if recognition takes place without additional steps, such as sanctions, it will have little impact.
France is preparing to make a big decision, thus trying to create political momentum, while the situation in the region continues to worsen, Reuters reports.
