POLITICS – The decision of Spain, Norway and Ireland to recognize Palestine this Tuesday, May 28 precipitates the debate in France. Members of different political parties were questioned on this subject and as you can see in our video at the top of the article, the left says yes, the right and the far right oppose it, while Macronie postpones the deadline until later, even if some members are pushing for recognition.
Socialists, ecologists and rebels see recognition of the Palestinian state as a way to calm the situation, while Israel continues its strikes on Rafah. “ Of the 193 countries in the UN, 143 have already recognized it », recalled LFI deputy Alexis Corbière on Public Senate this Tuesday.
His socialist colleague Olivier Faure also sees it as a way to stop “the massacre” through a “powerful political and diplomatic gesture,” he declared on TF1 on May 27.
On the other side of the political spectrum, such a measure is seen as a concession to Hamas. “ This means that he who used force, who massacred civilians at a party, would see one of his demands recognized », denounced this Tuesday morning on LCI the elected RN Sébastien Chenu.
François-Xavier Bellamy pleaded on France Inter on May 27 for a two-state solution, “but this path is not possible today”. “ It is a great danger to recognize a Palestinian state today because it would potentially give the feeling that we are vindicating those who launched this terrorist attack of October 7 », Estimated the head of the LR list in the European elections.
Government spokesperson Prisca Thévenot assured this Tuesday on Radio J that “ it’s not a taboo » but that it is not currently possible. “ We must ensure that the conditions are met because there must be a before and an after “, she argued.
A line taken up by the head of the Macronist list Valérie Hayer during the debate on the European elections on May 27, but which her number 2 does not share. Guest on Sud Radio Monday morning, Bernard Guetta declared that France must “ to his eyes » recognize the Palestinian state and replied that it is “not not proven that she does not “.
