International Desk: During his official state visit to the United Kingdom, French President Emmanuel Macron addressed a joint session of the British Parliament’s two houses, where he made a strong appeal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.

According to a report by Al Jazeera published on Wednesday (July 9), Macron voiced deep concern over the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.

"Gaza has been reduced to rubble, and attacks continue daily in the West Bank," Macron said. "Never before has the prospect of an independent Palestinian state been under such grave threat as it is today."

He went on to emphasize that in the face of such devastation, the only viable path to peace and stability in the region is a two-state solution that includes international recognition of a Palestinian state.

Macron also urged the United Kingdom to join France in recognizing Palestine, stating that this would be “the only path to peace.”
