PARIS, May 25, 2009 (WAFA) 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 colonization 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 colonies should be stopped, as it hinders peace.
