    It doesn’t, that’s the point. We don’t need them to recognize Palestine now or next month, we need them to address the genocide. End all support for Israel, and use UN forces to actually stop the genocide.

      It’s still important to recognise Palestine as a state. And it doesn’t delay any other action.

      It seems to me that the progress you see is not the progress you want, so you consider it pointless. But the truth is, it’s still progress, and it doesn’t take away from the other priorities you mention.

      So, once again, I don’t understand your point.

      This is part of that process. France is sort of saying that they are willing to put boots on the ground to stop this, without saying exactly that.

      Because being a member state of the UN comes with perks, like the ability to request UN peace keepers.
