الاعتراف الفرنسي بالدولة الفلسطينية: لحظة فارقة وصوت العقل في زمن الاضطراب.
جاء الاعتراف الفرنسي بالدولة الفلسطينية بوصفه لحظة مفصلية في التاريخ المعاصر، ليس فقط لأنه يدعم الحقوق الفلسطينية بعد أكثر من ستة عقود من الانتظار، بل لأنه يضع حلم الدولة المستقلة على طاولة النقاش الدولي مجدداً، ويفرضه كحقيقة سياسية لا يمكن تجاهلها.
هذا التحول لم يكن ليحدث لولا الجهود المكثفة التي قادتها المملكة العربية السعودية خلال الأشهر الماضية، وخصوصاً في تنظيم المؤتمر الدولي الذي شكّل منصة سياسية وأخلاقية دفعت بعدد من الدول إلى اتخاذ مواقف واضحة تجاه حق الفلسطينيين في إقامة دولتهم. ورغم التحديات السياسية والدبلوماسية الهائلة التي أحاطت بهذا المؤتمر، فإن مخرجاته أثبتت أن العمل العربي المشترك حين يتناغم مع التحركات الدولية قادر على إحداث تغيير ملموس.
إن هذا الاعتراف الفرنسي، ومعه سلسلة اعترافات مماثلة من دول أوروبية وأخرى من أمريكا اللاتينية، يمثِّل دفعة قوية لجهود السلام، ويضع مزيداً من العزلة حول خطاب التشدد والتطرف. كما يبعث برسالة أمل إلى الجيل الفلسطيني الجديد الذي عانى ويلات الاحتلال والحصار، جيل يتوق إلى مستقبل مختلف، ينفض فيه عن كاهله غبار الجوع والألم والخذلان، ويتطلع إلى الحياة بكرامة داخل دولته المستقلة.
إن الحق في إقامة الدولة ليس منّة من أحد، بل هو استحقاق قانوني وأخلاقي وسياسي. وبدون قيام دولة فلسطينية مستقلة، لن يرى الشرق الأوسط سلاماً حقيقياً أو استقراراً دائماً. فالمشهد الحالي في غزة -بكارثته الإنسانية الفادحة التي يشهدها العالم يومياً- يثبت أن غياب الحل العادل يُغرق المنطقة في دوامة عنف لا تنتهي، ويمنح التطرف بيئة خصبة للنمو.
لقد أكدت القيادة السعودية مراراً، وبكل وضوح، أنه لا سلام ممكن دون نيل الفلسطينيين حقوقهم، وعلى رأسها إقامة دولتهم المستقلة على حدود 1967 وعاصمتها القدس الشرقية. هذا الموقف المبدئي أصبح اليوم أكثر قبولاً على المستوى الدولي، خصوصاً مع تآكل المبررات الإسرائيلية في ظل ما يُرتكب من انتهاكات مروعة في غزة.
ورغم شعور إسرائيل بتفوقها العسكري والدبلوماسي، فإن القضية الفلسطينية أثبتت أنها «الهشّة» التي لا يمكن سحقها، بل التي قد تُعيد تشكيل المعادلات الدولية من جديد. وما حدث في باريس ليس نهاية المطاف، بل خطوة أولى على طريق طويل، تتطلب مزيداً من التضامن والشجاعة السياسية.

French recognition of the Palestinian state: A pivotal moment and a voice of reason in times of turmoil.
The French recognition of the Palestinian state came as a pivotal moment in contemporary history, not only because it supports Palestinian rights after more than six decades of waiting, but also because it places the dream of an independent state back on the international discussion table, imposing it as a political reality that cannot be ignored.
This shift would not have occurred without the intensive efforts led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in recent months, particularly in organizing the international conference that served as a political and moral platform, pushing several countries to take clear positions regarding the Palestinians' right to establish their state. Despite the enormous political and diplomatic challenges surrounding this conference, its outcomes proved that joint Arab action, when harmonized with international movements, can bring about tangible change.
This French recognition, along with a series of similar recognitions from European countries and others from Latin America, represents a strong boost for peace efforts and further isolates the rhetoric of extremism and radicalism. It also sends a message of hope to the new Palestinian generation that has suffered the horrors of occupation and siege, a generation yearning for a different future, one that shakes off the dust of hunger, pain, and disappointment, and looks forward to living with dignity within its independent state.
The right to establish a state is not a favor from anyone; it is a legal, moral, and political entitlement. Without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, the Middle East will not see true peace or lasting stability. The current scene in Gaza—with its catastrophic humanitarian crisis that the world witnesses daily—proves that the absence of a just solution plunges the region into an endless cycle of violence and provides extremism with a fertile environment to grow.
The Saudi leadership has repeatedly and clearly affirmed that no peace is possible without the Palestinians obtaining their rights, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. This principled stance has become more acceptable at the international level today, especially as the Israeli justifications erode in light of the horrific violations being committed in Gaza.
Despite Israel's feeling of military and diplomatic superiority, the Palestinian cause has proven to be the "fragile" issue that cannot be crushed, but rather one that may reshape international equations anew. What happened in Paris is not the end of the road, but rather a first step on a long path that requires more solidarity and political courage.
