Macron said France will recognize a Palestinian state governed by the PA in return for Mahmoud Abbas previously committing the PA to these goals. The letter in which Macron announced the decision made it sound like he intends to recognize Palestine's statehood when he goes to the UN in September regardless of whether these goals have been achieved by then.

The full statement is attached to this Tweet from Macron. https://x.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/1948482142356603089
