Speaker 1: Ahead of the United Nations UN General Assembly slated for
Speaker 1: September twenty twenty five. The President of France, A Manual Macron,
Speaker 1: on Thursday issued a statement and said that France will
Speaker 1: recognize the State of Palestine at the U ncoming Meeting
Speaker 1: of Heads of States as a way to put an
Speaker 1: end to the war in Gaza so that the civilian
Speaker 1: populations in the Palestinian city can be rescued, also describing
Speaker 1: the move as france historical commitment to adjust and lasting
Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East. This the Prime Minister of Israel,
Speaker 1: Benjamin Natanyahoo, within an hour issued a counterpress statement and
Speaker 1: said that the State of Israel condemned the decision of
Speaker 1: France President to recognize the State of Palestine, stressing that
Speaker 1: such move by France rewards terror and risks creating another
Speaker 1: Iran proxy that will be a launch pad to annihilate Israel.
Speaker 1: According to the President of France, A Manual Macron, true
Speaker 1: to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, I have decided that France will
Speaker 1: recognize the State of Palestine. I will make the solemn
Speaker 1: announcement of the United Nations General Assembly next September the
Speaker 1: urgency is today. For the war in Gaza to end
Speaker 1: and the civilian population to be rescued, peace is possible.
Speaker 1: There is an immediate cease fire, the release of all hostages,
Speaker 1: and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. We
Speaker 1: must also guarantee the demilitarization of har mass secure and
Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza. At last, it is necessary to build the
Speaker 1: state of Palestine, ensure its viability, and allow that by
Speaker 1: accepting its demilitarization and fully acknowledging Israel, it participates in
Speaker 1: the safety of everyone in the Middle East. There is
Speaker 1: no alternative. The French want peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: It is up to us, the French, together with Israelis,
Speaker 1: the Palestinians, our European and international partners, to demonstrate that
Speaker 1: it is possible. In light of the commitments that the
Speaker 1: President of the Palestinian Authority made to me, I wrote
Speaker 1: to him my determination to move forward, trust, clarity and commitment.
Speaker 1: We will win peace, the French president stated. In a
Speaker 1: swift reaction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted and said we
Speaker 1: strongly condemned President Macron's decision to recognize a Palestinian state
Speaker 1: next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October
Speaker 1: seventh massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating
Speaker 1: another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state
Speaker 1: in these conditions, would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel,
Speaker 1: not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear,
Speaker 1: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel. They
Speaker 1: seek a state instead of Israel. Meanwhile, it would be
Speaker 1: recalled that Daily Sabin Used media on May twenty eighth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, reported that Indonesian President Probobo Subianto said
Speaker 1: he would consider diplomatic ties with Israel only if it
Speaker 1: recognized a Palestinian state, speaking during talks with French President
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macron in Jakarta. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim
Speaker 1: majority nation, has no formal ties with Israel and has
Speaker 1: consistently called for a two state solution to the decades
Speaker 1: long conflict. On various occasions, I have said that Indonesia
Speaker 1: sees the two state solution and the freedom of Palestine
Speaker 1: is the only way to achieve the true piece, he
Speaker 1: told a news conference. I also emphasized that we must
Speaker 1: acknowledge and guarantee Israel's writes as a sovereign country that
Speaker 1: must be paid attention to unguaranteed safety. Indonesia has stated
Speaker 1: that once Israel recognizes Palestine, Indonesia is ready to recognize
Speaker 1: Israel and open the diplomatic relationship. In a joint statement,
Speaker 1: France and Indonesia called for progress on mutual recognition between
Speaker 1: Israel and the Palestinians at an international conference meant to
Speaker 1: resurrect the idea of a two state solution next month
Speaker 1: June twenty two, twenty five, which Paris will co chair.
Speaker 1: The conference should restore a political prospect of a peaceful
Speaker 1: settlement of this conflict, which should allow for an irreversible
Speaker 1: path toward the realization of a Palestinian state and mutual
Speaker 1: recognition between Israel and Palestine. They said support for the
Speaker 1: Palestinian cause runs high in Indonesia and the issue regularly
Speaker 1: prompts protests. In twenty twenty three, FIFA stripped Indonesia as
Speaker 1: the Under twenty World Cup hosts after some prominent politicians
Speaker 1: called for Israel to be kicked out of the tournament
Speaker 1: and refused to host its team. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: Al Jazeera on the eighteenth of July twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: reported that Israel's parliament has passed a resolution that overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli media reported
Speaker 1: the resolution passed in the Kanessid with sixty eight votes
Speaker 1: in favour and just nine against it early on Thursday.
Speaker 1: It said that a Palestinian state would pose an existential
Speaker 1: danger to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate
Speaker 1: the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region. Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Benjamin Letten, Yahoo's coalition with far right parties co sponsored
Speaker 1: the resolution. Opposition leader Yell Lapid center left party left
Speaker 1: the session to avoid supporting the statement, despite previously saying
Speaker 1: he favored a two state solution. The Times of Israel
Speaker 1: newspaper reported Mustafa Barghuti, the secretary general of the Palestinian
Speaker 1: National Initiative, slammed the passing of the resolution. No Zionist
Speaker 1: party from both the government and the opposition voted against
Speaker 1: the resolution. He wrote on x this resolution represents a
Speaker 1: rejection of peace with Palestinians and an official declaration of
Speaker 1: the death of the Oslo Agreement. Barguti posted the Oslo Accords,
Speaker 1: which were first signed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three called for a Bible and sovereign Palestinian
Speaker 1: state living side by side with an Israeli state, but
Speaker 1: Israel has continued to adopt policies such as building illegal
Speaker 1: settlements on Palestinian lands across the occupied West Bank and
Speaker 1: a complete blockade of Gaza. Palestinian Authority official Husain al
Speaker 1: Shaik condemned the resolution on social media, saying the Knesset's
Speaker 1: rejection confirms the racism of the occupying state and its
Speaker 1: disregard for international law and international legitimacy, and its insistence
Speaker 1: on the approach and policy of perpetuating the occupation forever.
Speaker 1: Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the resolution's approval was
Speaker 1: a dangerous violation of international law. Israel's continued efforts to
Speaker 1: deny the Palestinian's analienable right to their independent and sovereign
Speaker 1: state along the lines of June fourth, nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: with occupied Jerusalem as its capital does not bring security
Speaker 1: and peace in the region, read a statement citing the
Speaker 1: Ministry the spokesperson Sufi and al Kuda. The Times of
Speaker 1: Israel quoted the resolution as saying it will only be
Speaker 1: a matter of a short time until Hamas takes over
Speaker 1: the Palestinian state and turns it into a radical Islamic
Speaker 1: terror base, working in coordination with the Iranian led access
Speaker 1: to eliminate the state of Israel. It added that a
Speaker 1: Palestinian state at this time would be a reward for
Speaker 1: terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters to
Speaker 1: see this as a victory, referring to the Hamas led
Speaker 1: attacks on October seventh in southern Israel that triggered the
Speaker 1: current conflict. The decision, however, is not new for the Kanessid,
Speaker 1: which has previously rejected Palestinian statehood. A growing number of
Speaker 1: countries have recognized Palestinian statehood, including Spain, Slovenia, Norway, Ireland
Speaker 1: and others. The resolution comes as Netanyahoo is expected to
Speaker 1: address the United States Congress next week in Washington, d C,
Speaker 1: which has caused divisions among Democratic parties all makers who
Speaker 1: have spoken out against Israel's conduct in its war on Gaza.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterras said that
Speaker 1: Israel's policy in the occupied West Bank was dooming any
Speaker 1: prospect of a two state solution. Through administrative and legal steps,
Speaker 1: Israel is changing the geography of the West Bank, Guterras
Speaker 1: said in a statement read by his Chief of Staff,
Speaker 1: Courtney Ratre, during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
Speaker 1: Recent developments are driving a stake through the heart of
Speaker 1: any prospect for a two state solution. He said, we
Speaker 1: must change course. All settlement activity must cease immediately. The
Speaker 1: UN chief added that the settlements were a flagrant violation
Speaker 1: of international law and an obstacle to peace with Palestinians.
