Positive dynamics have emerged in the negotiations mediated by Egypt and Qatar.

Earlier in the day, Macron announced his intention to recognize the state of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in 2026. He noted that this will contribute to ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip, as well as rescue and comprehensive assistance to local residents.

Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh expressed gratitude to Macron for recognizing the state. He stressed that this step by France shows the country's commitment to international law. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned this decision, considering it an encouragement of terror.
