US EditionFrance 'determined' to recognise Palestinian state: foreign minister
- On May 20, 2025, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced that France is committed to officially acknowledging Palestinian statehood amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas centered in Gaza.
- This announcement comes after Israel partially allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza following a complete blockade lasting over two and a half months, which was imposed in response to a militant assault on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
- Barrot condemned Israel’s continuing military operations and blockade, describing Gaza as an “indefensible” situation turned into a death trap by blind violence and blocked aid.
- Barrot stated the aid deliveries were “totally insufficient” and supported a Netherlands-led EU initiative raising “the possibility of an eventual suspension” of the EU-Israel trade agreement if aid remains blocked.
- France threatened further concrete actions including sanctions and plans summits in June to promote Palestinian recognition as part of a political solution for the region’s security.
