Recognition of a Palestinian state
Israel declares Macron as an unwanted person
France wants to recognize a Palestinian state soon. President Emmanuel Macron had announced this. The reaction of Israel was now followed.
Because of the recognition of a Palestinian state announced by Paris, France’s President Emmanuel Macron is initially undesirable in Israel. Only when France left this step can Macron come back to Israel that the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem explained on Thursday after a conversation by department head Gideon Saar with his French colleague Jean-Noël Barrot. Macron recently announced that the UN General Assembly’s general debate officially recognized a Palestinian state at the end of September.
In addition to France, other countries had also announced that it would join the advance from Paris, including Great Britain and Canada. The Federal Government said in July that this step was out of the question for them “at short notice”. For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state is “more” at the end of Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul (CDU). The UN General Assembly’s general debate takes place in the last week of September.
A Palestinian state next to Israel is part of the so-called two-state solution, from which Western states hope for a permanent solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
USA and Israel criticize France hard
Israel and the United States sharply criticized France and other countries. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently spoke of a “ruthless decision that only serves the Hamas propaganda”, Israel’s head of government Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the announced step as a “reward for terror”.
The Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas and its allies attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. According to Israeli information, more than 1200 people were killed in the major attack. 251 people were kidnapped as hostages in the coastal strips. 47 people are still captured by Hamas in the coastal strip, presumably 25 of which are dead according to Israeli information.
In response to the Hamas robbery, Israel is massively military in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas authorities, which cannot be checked independently, more than 64,000 people have so far been killed.
