France and Indonesia on Wednesday called for progress on “mutual recognition” between Israel and the Palestinians at an international conference meant to resurrect the idea of a two-state solution next month as French President Emmanuel Macron visited Jakarta.<\/p>\n
“The conference should… restore a political prospect of a peaceful settlement of this conflict, which should allow for an irreversible path towards the realization of a Palestinian State, (and) mutual recognition between Israel and Palestine,” the nations said in a joint statement. France will co-chair the conference.<\/p>\n
Macron is leaning towards recognizing a Palestinian state, diplomats and experts say, a move that could infuriate Israel and deepen Western splits.<\/p>\n
“Only a political solution will make it possible to restore peace and build for the long term,” Macron said in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
“Together with Saudi Arabia, we will soon be organizing a conference on Gaza in New York to give fresh impetus to the recognition of a Palestinian state and the recognition of the State of Israel and its right to live in peace and security in this region.”<\/p>\n
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said his country is willing to recognize and open diplomatic relations with Israel if an independent Palestinian state is recognized by Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
