"Plans for partial or total annexation, whether legal or de facto, constitute a red line to which we will respond strongly with our European partners," said Macron after meeting Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in Paris.

"The violence of the settlers and the acceleration of settlement projects are reaching new heights, threatening the stability of the West Bank and constitute violations of international law," Macron added.
