The Paris authorities have placed Palestinian and Israeli flags on the Eiffel Tower ahead of France’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, APA reports.
A screen has been installed at the first-tier level displaying the flags and a dove of peace between them. The tower itself is illuminated in white.
"Paris supports the initiative of French President [Emmanuel Macron] to recognize the State of Palestine. Paris reaffirms its commitment to peace, which, now more than ever, can only be achieved through the implementation of the two-state solution," Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo wrote on her Bluesky social media page, accompanying her message with a photo of the Eiffel Tower with the flags.
