Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed on Friday his deep gratitude to Saudi Arabia’s efforts and honorable positions — under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister — that contributed to France’s historic commitment to recognize the State of Palestine.

Abbas welcomed the message from French President Emmanuel Macron that said France intends to recognize the State of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly in September.

He praised this bold step as a significant step towards achieving peace based on the two-state solution, in line with international resolutions and international law.

This move is a victory for the Palestinian cause and reflects France’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and their legitimate, inalienable rights to their homeland, added Abbas.

He urged other countries to take similar actions by recognizing the State of Palestine based on the internationally recognized two-state solution and in line with relevant international resolutions.
