The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has welcomed the recent statement by French President Emmanuel Macron. He announced that France is considering officially recognizing the State of Palestine.

This announcement was made on Friday and is seen as a big step towards helping achieve peace in the Middle East. The UAE believes that France's decision will support global efforts to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

A Step Towards Peace in the Region

The UAE said that this move by France is important because it supports the idea of a two-state solution. This means that both Israel and Palestine would exist as two separate, peaceful countries.

The UAE sees this as a way to help build a just and lasting peace in the region, where both peoples can live with security, dignity, and equal rights.

UAE Minister Praises France’s Decision

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke about the announcement. He said the UAE appreciates France’s serious commitment to supporting peace and justice.

He described the timing of this decision as very important, especially as tensions continue in the region and people are suffering from the long-standing conflict.

Call for Global Action and Responsibility

Sheikh Abdullah also said that the international community has a big role to play. He asked countries around the world to take their responsibilities seriously and help restart the peace talks between Israel and Palestine.

He added that this is the right time for global powers to work together and bring an end to the conflict through fair and peaceful solutions.

Support for Palestinian People and Their Rights

The UAE strongly supports the rights of the Palestinian people. The country believes they have a right to live freely in their own independent and sovereign state.

The UAE also wants to make sure these rights are protected under international laws and United Nations resolutions, which many countries have agreed to in the past.

Following International Agreements and UN Resolutions

The UAE’s support is based on several international agreements and United Nations resolutions. These documents say that Palestinians should have their own country and that the two-state solution is the best path to peace.

The UAE believes that following these agreements can help stop the violence and ensure a better future for everyone in the region.

France's Role in the Peace Process

France has been involved in efforts to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for many years. By now showing readiness to recognize Palestine, France is taking a stronger step toward ending the conflict.

This move could encourage other countries to do the same and increase the chances of restarting meaningful peace talks.

UAE’s Longstanding Support for Palestine

The UAE has always stood with the Palestinian people. For many years, it has helped by offering humanitarian aid, building schools and hospitals, and speaking out in international forums.

The country has also tried to be a voice of reason, calling for peace and understanding between all sides involved.

A Better Future for the Middle East

The UAE hopes that this decision by France will lead to more security and stability in the Middle East. The region has suffered from war, unrest, and political tensions for decades.

With efforts like this, the UAE believes that a more peaceful and prosperous future can be built for all people in the area—not just Palestinians and Israelis, but everyone affected by the ongoing conflict.

Working With International Partners

The UAE said it will keep working closely with other countries and international organizations to push forward peaceful solutions.

The goal is to create an environment where people from all backgrounds can live in harmony, where justice is served, and where violence is no longer the answer.

What Is the Two-State Solution?

The two-state solution is a peace plan that suggests two countries—Israel and Palestine—living side by side peacefully.

Under this plan, both nations would have recognized borders, their own governments, and the right to live safely. Many world leaders and peace groups see this as the best way to end the conflict.

Why Recognition of Palestine Matters

When a country like France decides to recognize Palestine as a state, it means that it accepts Palestine’s right to exist as an independent nation.

Such recognition adds political weight and international support to Palestine's cause. It also encourages peace talks to continue and shows that the global community is serious about finding a solution.

International Unity Is Key

The UAE’s statement highlights the need for unity among countries around the world. When more nations agree to support a peaceful solution and recognize the rights of all people in the region, the chances of ending the conflict increase.

The UAE urges other world leaders to act now and help restart the political process, which has been stalled for many years.

Hope for a Just and Fair Solution

Sheikh Abdullah stressed that the UAE will not stop supporting the Palestinian people and their dreams for a free and peaceful life.

He said that the country will continue to work hard, along with others, to make sure a just and fair solution is reached soon.

A Step in the Right Direction

The UAE believes that France’s plan to recognize the State of Palestine is a step in the right direction. It shows a strong will to support peace, justice, and the rights of the Palestinian people.

By encouraging dialogue, cooperation, and respect, such actions can help build a future where people in the Middle East can finally live in peace.
