Macron and Abbas Launch Committee to Consolidate Palestinian State as France Commits Aid and Security Backing

France positions the initiative as a bridge from ceasefire to Palestinian self-rule.

Overview

  • The Élysée announced a joint French–Palestinian committee tasked with drafting constitutional and institutional plans to advance state-building.
  • Paris pledged €100 million for Gaza relief alongside emergency deliveries of food supplements, medicines and medical equipment.
  • France has sent assessment officers, with more diplomats and a Gendarmerie general to follow, to shape an international stabilisation role centered on training Palestinian security forces.
  • Macron said more than 100 French gendarmes will bolster EU missions to help the Palestinian Authority take control of Gaza’s crossings and everyday policing.
  • Macron warned that any Israeli annexation move in the West Bank is a red line that would meet a coordinated EU response, as Abbas committed to reforms and elections about a year after the ceasefire enters its second phase.
