Were conditions attached?

Macron described this recognition as a “strong diplomatic act.” According to the French president, the objective is clear: to address the urgency of a lasting peace in the Middle East. He stated: “We must finally build the State of Palestine, ensure its viability, and allow it, by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, to contribute to the security of all in the Middle East.”

Demilitarization and a recognization of the state committed to the erasure of Palestinians, both of which are ridiculous all things considered

So basically strip of paper for Palestine and entirely free hand for Isn'treal, how predictably Macrony.

I saw that but I didn't think he set it as conditions. Just some both sides talk. Action is the only thing which matters. Talk goes ignored.

I hope you're right, at the end of the day action is what really matters and I haven't seen any meaningful action from Europe yet
