Recognising Palestinian state ‘no longer taboo’ for France: Macron

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has opened the door to recognising a Palestinian state without support from Israel. The President says recognition is 'no longer a taboo' for France. This comes as international concern grows over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza. France, along with most of the EU, has long supported a two-state solution. But this has always been as a negotiated peace deal with Israel.
