France to help Palestinians draft constitution for future state, Macron says
- On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron said France will form a joint panel with the Palestinian Authority to draft a new constitution after meeting President Mahmoud Abbas in Paris, France.
- The move follows a fragile US-brokered ceasefire and recent Western European countries that recognised Palestinian statehood, aiming to help the Palestinian Authority establish a democratic, demilitarized state including Gaza.
- Macron said the joint committee would be responsible for working on all legal aspects: constitutional, institutional and organisational, and 'contribute to drawing up a new constitution.'
- Abbas agreed to the swift establishment of the constitutional committee and reiterated reform pledges including elections, while France pledged 100 million euros in humanitarian aid for Gaza .
- Looking to the longer term, Macron said the initiative prepares for the 'day after' when two states live side by side and noted that 160 countries now recognise Palestinian statehood, while Israel continues to reject Palestinian statehood despite a US-brokered ceasefire following the October 7 attacks.
