Even before the latest push, the majority of U.N. members recognized a Palestinian state. In 2012, it won U.N. observer-state status within the body by a vote of 138-9 with 41 abstentions, a diplomatic setback for the U.S. and Israel which opposed the move.

Macron, while speaking to France's BFM TV from New York on Tuesday, said that Trump had the power to put pressure on Israel and end the war.

One of Ramalla’s first demands, reportedly, is a $2.7 trillion reparation from Britain for its post-World War I rule of Palestine.

French President Emmanuel Macron says France is officially recognizing the state of Palestine. The move came during a U.N. conference chaired by France and Saudi Arabia aimed at generating new support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,

In an interview with CBS News' "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," the French president pushed back on criticism for recognizing a Palestinian state.

Macron’s recognition of a Palestinian 'state' not only hurts chances for peace, but poses a major challenge to Trump.

Yvette Cooper spoke to the BBC as France and more countries prepare to follow the UK and recognise Palestinian statehood.
