PARIS (Ma’an) -- French president Nikolas Sarkozy received credentials for the first Palestinian ambassador to France Hayil Al-Fahoum on Friday, following an upgrade to the status of the Palestinian mission in Paris in June.
In a summer move seen to support Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s plan to establish a Palestinian state by 2012, Paris moved to change the status of the Palestinian general commission to a Palestine Mission.
Arab diplomatic sources said Sarkozy, when he accepted the credentials, stated the necessity of continuing the peace process in the Middle East, and applauded President Mahmoud Abbas' vision during the progress of the talks. He urged all sides to continue with the goal of establishing a viable Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in safety and security.
Al-Fahoum was previously the Palestinian representative in Germany and appointed the commissioner to the PLO office in Paris in 2010.
