Paris - Saba:
French Prime Minister François Bayrou affirmed on Tuesday that the move to recognize a Palestinian state, as intended by France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, "will not stop."
According to Agence France-Presse, Bayrou told the National Assembly during a government question session, "For the first time, three major countries—Britain, France, Canada—have decided that they will jointly oppose what is happening" in the Gaza Strip and "together recognize the State of Palestine." He added that "this movement that has been launched will not stop."
Bayrou added, "We cannot leave the children of Gaza a legacy of violence and hatred. Therefore, all of this must stop, and that is why we are determined to recognize the State of Palestine."
He emphasized that the situation in Gaza is "unbearable because the blind violence and the Israeli government's prevention of the entry of humanitarian aid, turning Gaza into a place where people are dying—not to mention a cemetery—is an absolute violation of all rules of international law."
Bayrou reiterated his call for the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of humanitarian aid "in large quantities" and "without hindrance."
