A historical summit, and then? France recognized, like several other Western countries, “the state of Palestine” this Monday, September 22 at the United Nations on Monday, September 22. An act raised for peace between the Israeli people and the Palestinian people, “Emmanuel Macron proclaimed to the UN Gallery in New York.
“The time has come to stop the war, the bombings in Gaza, the massacres and the populations in the race. (…) The time of peace has come, because we have a few moments to be able to understand it,” he insisted.
A “” private of the attributes of sovereignty “Palestinian
The French president, at the initiative of this summit, co -worked with Saudi Arabia, tries to strengthen the pressure on Israel to end the war in Gaza in the context of a historical movement, but still within reach above all symbolic.
“The recognition, in fact, does not create a State since the State in question is deprived of the fundamental attributes of sovereignty. It does not control its territory or its population, divided between Gaza and the West Bank,” explains the BFMTV David Khalfa, co-director of the North Africa Observatory and the Middle East at the Jean-Jaurès Institute.
If the decision “strengthens the place of Palestine for the United Nations, already recognized since 2012 as a non -member observer”, the country “will not become a UN Member State in its own right because its admission is going through the Security Council and the support of the Research Institute of the Institute of Israel, explained its veto to the east. (IREMMO).
Emmanuel Macron’s decision and many other heads of state have the merit of “Santuarizar the solution to two states,” continues David Khalfa, but “where is the rubbing, that is what happens in the field” in Gaza.
The UN declared the famine at the Palestinian enclave, besieged for two years by the Israeli army that currently leads an offensive against Hamas in Gaza-Ville. On September 16, an independent research commission ordered by the UN established that Israel commits a genocide against the Palestinians, the victims of bombings, forced trips and the restriction of humanitarian aid.
Towards a radicalization of the Israeli government?
Going to “leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the atrocious massacre of October 7,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised on Monday that “no Palestinian state will see the day west of the Jordan.”
The leader mentioned by a mandate of the CPI for crimes against humanity also said that his government would extend Jewish colonization in the occupied West Bank, in reaction to the awards of a Palestinian State by Western countries.
“In fact, there is this risk of disappointing some, the Palestinians if recognition is not followed by the effect, and to alienate others, the Israelis,” admits David Khalfa. Even the head of the left of Isreal, Yaïr Golan, “explains that under the current conditions, recognizing a Palestinian state is above the ground and strengthens the most nationalist currents,” says the specialist in the Middle East.
However, threats to annexed the governance of governments are not new. The right and right government of Benjamin Netanyhu does not hide his colonist to liquidate the solution of two states, “said David Khalfa. The prime minister even assumed the idea of” Great Israel “, a biblical allusion to a state that would include the West but also part of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Emmanuel Macron’s plan is difficult to achieve
In his speech before the UN, Emmanuel Macron has made the path he should, according to a text supported by about 142 countries, lead to a peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine. The French president first intends to “combine the liberation of the 48 hostages (Israelis, editor’s note) and the end of military operations throughout the territory of Gaza” through a “high fire.”
Then the time will come to “stabilize and rebuild in Gaza”. “A transition administration that incorporates the Palestinian authority, the Palestinian youth accompanied by security forces whose training we will accelerate, will have the security monopoly in Gaza. It will implement the dismantling and disarmament of Hamas, with the support of international partners,” wishes Emmanuel Macron.
“The Security Council may decide the deployment of a civil and security support mission, together with the Palestinian authorities, with the consent of the Israeli authorities,” he added.
For David Khalfa, this plan’s security component cannot be carried out without US support. “Whether it is delighted or deplory, the United States is still the key in the Middle East,” says the researcher. However, at this stage, US President Donald Trump, who is scheduled to speak on Tuesday night at the UN, supports the continuation of the war in the enclave.
France finally states that the Palestinian authority, which has not organized the elections since 2006, can “offer its people a framework of democratic expression, renewed and safe.”
But here again, an obstacle is, according to David Khalfa: “The reality of a Palestinian political system locked from the inside by corruption and the concentration of powers in the hands of a weakened leader (Mahmoud Abbas, an editor’s note) that refuses to give in.”
A “renewed Palestinian authority is a necessary condition for the success of the essential negotiation that must be resumed to achieve an agreement on each of the questions related to the final state,” said Emmanuel Macron. “It is also in this context that I can decide to establish an embassy with the state of Palestine, as soon as all the hostages in Gaza have released and that the fire has been established.”
