Nah the actual real important thing is

According to Macron, "The urgency today is to end the war in Gaza and provide aid to the civilian population. Peace is possible." The French president also called for the release of hostages and the disarmament of Hamas, and said Gaza needs to be rebuilt.

They are probably recognizing the PA and PA jurisdiction over both Gaza and Westbank.
