France welcomed on Friday the Arab League states' support for the New York Declaration on Palestine peace efforts and the implementation of a two-state solution.
"France welcomes the Arab League states' unprecedented call to endorse and implement the New York Declaration, adopted following the international conference on the implementation of the two-state solution, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia on 28 and 29 July," the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The statement noted that the Arab League states' call reflects a commitment to the implementation of an ambitious road map for peace and security in the region, with the need for an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages, establishment of a viable, sovereign Palestinian state, and normalization between Israel and the Arab countries.
"We call on all the States to join this road map," it added.
