In a controversial move drawing criticism from Israel leaders and analysts, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state this September, despite the ongoing war with Hamas and the group’s continued refusal to disarm or release Israeli hostages.
Macron’s decision, which he plans to formalize at the United Nations General Assembly, risks undermining long-standing diplomatic frameworks that call for a negotiated peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
Critics argue it sends the wrong message at a time when Israel is still reeling from the October 7 Hamas massacre and working to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure embedded in Gaza.
“France recognizes the right of Palestinians to a state of their own,” Macron said on social media, without acknowledging that the de facto rulers of Gaza, Hamas, continue to call for Israel’s destruction and reject any two-state solution
And I recognize an independent Brittany. Who are you recognizing? Who’s the leader of this so called state? If it’s just the concept, why haven’t you recognized an independent Kurdistan? Or East Turkestan? How about Catalonia which you border?
It is a petulant and hostile move. From a country that has long been hostile. I don’t know when the last decent French President ruled. Was it Mitterrand in the 1980s, maybe? Even Charles de Galle was terrible toward us, although this sniveling pissant Macron is not a Charles de Galle. It is a move that will bring infamy to that forlorn country.
I see that my spell check changed “Gaulle” to “Galle.”
Might as well.
Mitterrand was a Nazi collaborator during WWII.
In Paris
France has over 6 million Muslims compared to 450 thousand Jews. Which side do you think the government will take when chaos breaks out in their country?
Try over 8 millions Muslims some estimates goes as high as over 10 millions , I grew up there and I just came back from there visiting family , it’s a total invasion btw some of my hardcore leftists families is in panic and ready to mo to Israel they finally open their eyes
I saw the Muslim threat coming years ago when I visited France (as well as Holland). I don’t think there is even going to be a France — or rather, a “French” France — by the end of the secular century.
There’s a Palestinian state in England, France, most of Europe and the rest of the world in fact.
The world is practically a Palestinian state.
It’s good to recognize problems isn’t it.
So here comes frenxh president –
The country who has in the past
Made an expulsion of jews,
Murdered many innocents,
And colaberated with nazis –
And proclaims that the land given by god,
Is not going to stay in jewish hands…
So i ask you mr. President: who do u think you are?
Who gives you the right to oppose gods plan?
I hereby declare that said Palestine state is located in the center of France. Full of Arabs anyway. Caliphate incoming. Stay tuned
