Sarkozy : Palestinian state is a 'legitimate right'
Palestine-Israel-France, Politics, 6/1/2009
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said, Monday that establishing a state for the Palestinian people is a 'legitimate right'.
Sarkozy told the official UAE's news agency WAM, 'no one would think seriously about peace in the Middle East without giving the Palestinians a state they have been persevering for years. It is their legitimate right.'
'What is important is to put an end to this pain and wastage,' he said. 'In this conflict, Europe and US will stand by Israelis and Palestinians as well to reach reconciliation, but there will be no peace without genuine and sincere will of the two sides.'
Regarding settlements activities carried out by Israel in the West Bank, the French President, expected to arrive in the UAE later on Monday, said that construction of Jewish settlements should be stopped, as it hinders peace.
