法國在巴黎航展關閉武器攤位，以色列震怒！| DW 新聞 (Israel furious as France shuts weapons stands at Paris Air Show | DW News)

So, his own to-ing and fro-ing on this question does reflect his own ambiguous position on this question.
在過去的幾個月裡，法國越來越多地責備了對加沙的襲擊，國際法院認為這是種族滅絕行為。然而，埃馬紐埃爾-馬克龍總統週五決定延後聯合國關於以色列和巴勒斯坦兩國解決方案的重要會議，他曾在會上表示法國將承認巴勒斯坦國。是以，他在這一問題上的搖擺不定確實反映了他本人在這一問題上的模糊立場。
