Seems as if Macron is getting more and more involved in the "Abraham Accord" deal.

Macron calls for creation of Palestinian state at UNGA
Macron also said that it would not support renewed sanctions pushed by the US against Iran
French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday evening called for a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a video addressed to the 75th United Nations General Assembly.
"I am delighted that Israel has obtained recognition (from the UAE and Bahrain), it is a pledge of hope for the future," Macron said hailing the Abraham Accords signed at the White House last week.
"However, a just peace requires above all to find the ways and means of a decisive negotiation which will allow the Palestinians to finally have their rights," he continued.
"I do not believe in a peace which will be built on hegemony or humiliation, even if this would be compensated by money because we do not compensate for the humiliation of a people by money," he added, referring to the Trump administration's peace plan.
Last year, the White House unveiled the "economic" portion of its so-called "deal of the century", promising tens of billions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority for infrastructure projects.
But Ramallah has repeatedly rejected the overtures, maintaining that the Trump administration is not a neutral arbiter in the peace process and that its plan disproportionately favors Israel.
Regarding the Iranian nuclear program, Macron assured the GA that France and its European allies - Germany and the United Kingdom - would "not compromise" on their refusal to support the restoration of sanctions against Iran demanded by Washington.
"France, with its German and British partners, will maintain its demand for full implementation of the 2015 Vienna agreement" on Iranian nuclear power "and will not accept the violations committed by Iran", did he declare.
