French President Emmanuel Macron warned Israel today that no offensive or annexation attempt by it will stop the movement to recognize the state of Palestine.

"No offensive, attempt to annex or displace residents will undo the dynamic that we have created with the Crown Prince and which has already been joined by numerous partners," he said of his conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Macron added that the US decision not to issue visas to Palestinian officials who want to attend the upcoming United Nations (UN) General Assembly session is "unacceptable".

"We call on them to withdraw this measure and allow the arrival of the Palestinian delegation in accordance with the agreement on the headquarters of the United Nations" in New York, which binds the US, Macron added.

France announced it would recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. Other countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada, joined it.
