President Emmanuel Macron says France could recognize a Palestinian state in the coming months.

Macron told France 5 television on Wednesday that he aims to finalize the move at a United Nations conference on the Israel-Palestine conflict, which his country will co-host with Saudi Arabia in June.

"We must move towards recognition and we will do this in the coming months," Macron said. "I am not doing it to please anyone. I will do it because it will be right," he said.

The Palestinian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Varsen Shahin, told the AFP news agency that France's recognition would be "a step in the right direction in line with protecting the rights of the Palestinian people and the two-state solution."
