The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a statement on the 22nd, warmly welcoming France's official recognition of the Palestinian state, saying that this decision is "historic and courageous", in line with international law and UN resolutions, and helps to promote the peace process and implement the "two-state plan".

The statement said that President Macron played a positive role in encouraging other countries to recognize Palestine, consolidate international support, and jointly promote the convening and implementation of the "Two-Country Programme" related international conference, which the Pakistani side expressed great appreciation for, thanks to the support of the French government and the French people, and will continue to strengthen bilateral relations and coordination cooperation with France in all fields.

The statement calls on countries that have not yet recognized the Palestinian state to take action as soon as possible to safeguard the "two-state solution" and actively participate in the efforts made by the international community to achieve an immediate ceasefire, protect civilians and restart political negotiations, so as to end the occupation and allow the Palestinian people to realize their right to self-determination like other nations.
