-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

France is committing to help the Palestinian Authority draft a
constitution for a future Palestinian state. French President Emmanuel
Macron announced a joint constitutional committee after meeting with
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Paris yesterday. France
also pledged $100 million for humanitarian aid in Gaza this year.

French President Emmanuel Macron: "This committee will be responsible
for working on all legal aspects: constitutional, institutional and
organisational. It will contribute to the work of developing a new
constitution, a draft of which President Abbas has presented to me, and
will aim to finalise all the conditions for such a State of Palestine."
