'Palestinians have the right to statehood': France takes aim at Netanyahu's rejection of two-state solution

In a response to high-level calls from Israel against any possible two-state solution on Saturday, French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne posted to X, formerly Twitter, that Palestinians have the right to a state, and that France will "remain faithful to its commitment to achieve this goal".

His post comes in response to several top-level officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, releasing strong statements in opposition of the creation of a Palestinian state.

Les Palestiniens ont le droit à la souveraineté et à un État. La France restera fidèle à son engagement pour atteindre ce but.

Translation: Palestinians have the right to sovereignty and statehood. France will remain faithful to its commitment to achieve this goal.
