France is “determined” to recognise a Palestinian state, its foreign minister said on Tuesday, condemning Israel for the “indefensible” situation in Gaza created by its military campaign and humanitarian blockade.

    There is apparently an UN conference in June, at which they want to do it for whatever reason. To put it another way it is a threat towards Israel.

    As is looking into the EU Israel association agreement. Stoping that would actually hurt Israel and France is supporting that.

      Ty for the point about the UN conference timeline, I did not know that.

      I really hope we are gonna support it all the way and that it’s gonna economically and politically hurt Netanyaou’s regime 🤞🤞 but I’m not holding my breath. May the future prove me wrong :)

        With all EU members having to agree to suspend the agreement, this is going to take some time. Most certainly Germany has to agree with it and it does not look like they want to do it. Even if that happens Hungary has to be bribed as well.
