French President Emmanuel Macron today assured that Paris will play a “special role” in the future governance of the Gaza Strip “on the side” of the Palestinian Authority and insisted on the importance of representing the Palestinians in the process.

“In the issue of governance we will have a special role on the side of the Palestinian Authority and will take care of that role, but that it will proceed with reforms for the next day.”Macron said upon his arrival at Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt for a summit for peace in the Gaza Strip in the presence of US President Donald Trump.

The president of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas “will be present at this meeting,” Macron said. “It is a very good sign (…) This is a recognition of the role of the Palestinian Authority as a legitimate principle,” the French president underlined, demanding that the Palestinians be “at the heart of Gaza’s rule”.

At the same time, Macron called for “not to forget” the West Bank, where the Jewish settlement is accelerating, and to continue efforts to create a Palestinian state.

We must “create a connection between Gaza and the West Bank” and “ensure that there is a road to two states, the only political perspective that truly allows for sustainable peace,” he said.

Regarding security, the French president pointed out that Europeans would “intensify” the training of Palestinian police officers in Gaza, but clarified that his country would not participate in the stabilization force to be set up.

There is a “consensus” in the peacekeeping power to participate “mainly regional forces and perhaps some countries, such as Indonesia,” he said. However, these countries are calling for the process to take place within the “international framework”, that is, by the UN, insisted.

In addition, Macron clarified that France would organize a “humanitarian aid in Gaza in the coming weeks in the coming weeks with Egypt, which will host it.

Referring to the political crisis inside France, Macron stressed that he would remain in his position to ensure the stability of the country, ignoring the repeated calls of the opposition to resign.

“Do not forget that the command given by the French people is to serve, serve and serve and provide answers to the problems of the French people and to do what is possible for France’s independence.”Macron emphasized a few days after he re -appointed Sebastian Lecorni as prime minister, as Reuters reports.

“This is all that matters. The rest is the job of the government (…) I will continue to ensure stability »added the French president, whose term is completed in 2027.
