Muscat: Oman extols France's announced plan to recognize Palestine. The Omani Foreign Ministry on Friday commended and welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement that his country would recognize the State of Palestine during the coming UN General Assembly.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the ministry stated that Oman calls on other countries that have not recognized the Palestinian state to follow suit, aiming to implement the two-state solution and establish the Palestinian people's right to an independent state on the 1967 border with East Jerusalem as its capital.
French President Emmanuel Macron affirmed on Thursday that Paris decided to officially recognize the Palestinian state in line with its commitment to achieving permanent and fair peace in the Middle East region.
