French FM travels to Iraq to gather support for two-state solution

French Foreign Minster Jean-Noel Barrot has recently travelled to Iraq in an effort to build support for a proposed two-state solution between Israel and Palestine while visiting the country on April 23.
As reported by The New Arab, the French foreign ministry stated that the visit aimed to help “prepare for an international conference” focused on the future of both Palestine and Israel.
The visit follows recent suggestions by French President Emmanuel Macron that France would be willing to recognise a legitimate Palestinian state.
