Recall, another exacerbation of the situation between Palestine and Israel occurred after the statement of US President Donald Trump about the transfer of the capital of the Jewish state from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

As reported by URA-Inform, French President Emmanuel Macron once again condemned the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to return the crisis in the Middle East to a peaceful channel. The leader of France proposes to restore confidence between Israelis and Palestinians.
