Paris reacted quickly to Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The Palestinians have the right to sovereignty and to a state,” Catherine Colonna's January 11th-appointed successor responded to X (ex-Twitter) on Quai d'Orsay on Saturday, January 20th. “France will remain faithful to its commitment to achieve this goal.”
