German government says it won't join France in recognising a Palestinian state
The statement follows Macron’s announcement that France will untilaterally recognise a Palestinian state in September
The French leader had announced on Thursday that Paris would unilaterally recognise Palestinian statehood in September, to accelerate "a just and lasting peace" in the Gaza Strip, which remains occupied by Israel.
Berlin, by contrast, would prioritise "a negotiated two-state solution," the spokesperson of the German government, Stefan Kornelius, said in a statement.
