France not recognizing Palestine
French officials are calling highly inaccurate a report from Iran’s 
Press TV that France will join several South American countries in 
recognizing Palestine as an independent country.
“Bernard Valero, a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry said 
Tuesday that Paris agrees with the formation of a Palestinian state 
based on the exchange of land between Israel and the Palestinians,” 
Press TV reported.
But a French official told POLITICO Wednesday that the spokesman was 
simply pointing to a March 1999 European Council declaration which 
defined the European Union position on the issue.
“The European Union is convinced that the creation of a democratic, 
viable and peaceful sovereign Palestinian State on the basis of existing 
agreements and through negotiations would be the best guarantee of 
Israel's security and Israel's acceptance as an equal partner in the 
region,” that European Union position states. “The European Union 
declares its readiness to consider the recognition of a Palestinian 
State in due course in accordance with the basic principles referred to 
above.”
Valero “made it clear in his statement that the 1999 principles were 
providing the perspective for subsequent negotiations on the final 
status and the parameters one should work on in order to allow the 
creation of a Palestinian state,” a French official told POLITICO 
Wednesday.
Asked at a news conference Tuesday about Brazil's and Argentina’s recent 
decision to recognize Palestine, Valero responded: “With respect to this 
issue, the principle of recognizing this State was adopted in the 1999 
Berlin Declaration,” according to a transcript.
“With this in mind, we would now like to see a swift resumption of peace 
negotiations which should address all of the final status issues, 
establish the parameters of the Palestinian State and allow its 
creation," Valero continued. "We want a viable Palestinian State, i.e. 
with borders – those of 1967 – and an exchange of territory. We don’t 
want to second-guess the discussions between the parties at this stage.”
Several Latin American countries, including Brazil and Argentina, 
recognize a Palestinian State. Does that seem wise to you during this 
period of negotiations? Do you think it’s possible to recognize this 
Palestinian State with the involvement of the UN Security Council?
With respect to this issue, the principle of recognizing this State was 
adopted in the 1999 Berlin Declaration. With this in mind, we would now 
like to see a swift resumption of peace negotiations which should 
address all of the final status issues, establish the parameters of the 
Palestinian State and allow its creation. We want a viable Palestinian 
State, i.e. with borders – those of 1967 – and an exchange of territory. 
We don’t want to second-guess the discussions between the parties at 
this stage. We support the construction of this future Palestinian State 
and the establishment of its institutions. In order to signal our 
support, we upgraded the status of the General Delegation of Palestine 
to the Mission of Palestine in July, and on December 3 the Ambassador, 
Chief of the Mission of Palestine, presented for the first time to 
President Sarkozy a mission statement signed by the authorities, within 
the framework of a presentation of credentials ceremony.
Do you think that what these Latin American countries have done is 
inappropriate during this period of negotiations?
It’s not up to me to judge. My role is to reaffirm France’s position.
Is recognizing the Palestinian State today a step in the right direction?
I don’t have to give my opinion on the initiatives that other actors in 
the international community are taking. France’s position is that it 
wants to see a swift resumption of the peace negotiations, with the aim 
of creating a viable Palestinian State. At this stage we don’t want to 
second-guess the discussions between the parties.

 fatto compiuto e' l'unica rimasta.
Per forza...anche perch� di chiacchiere ormai ne sono state fatte
parecchie.
La Francia non ha abbastanza coraggio
Ciao!

Ma fa irritare Israele.
Hai presente poi cosa succede in Occidente se tocchi
quello pseudo Stato?

finchè c'è il presidente più filoamericano della storia al potere, non
è una questione di coraggio.

lo stato palestinese non esiste per il semplice fatto che non esiste una 
entità statuale unica funzionante. Se Gaza e Cisgiordania trovassero "un 
accordo" di pacificazione avrebbe più senso parlare di "Stato di fatto". 
Tuttavia non mi pare ci sia reale volontà di raggiungere questo obiettivo da 
parte della dirigenza palestinese dato che gli uni (Gaza) trovano più 
conveniente fare la parte dei martiri e dei guerriglieri per l'eternità (e 
farsi sovvenzionare dall'Iran che a sua volta ha i suoi vantaggi sulla 
situazione), gli altri (Cisgiordania) trovano più conveniente vivere 
subtutela israeliana potendo mascherare le proprie inefficienze con la scusa 
delle interferenze giuridiche ed amministrative di Israele.
