Abbas hails French recognition as 'victory for Palestinian cause'

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Friday hailed the decision by France to press ahead with recognizing a Palestinian state as a "victory for the Palestinian cause."

"This reflects France's commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights to their land and their homeland," the president of the Palestinian Authority said.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that Paris would recognize a Palestinian state in September, drawing fury from Israeli leaders.
