Israel fumes over Macron’s stance backing Palestinian statehood
According to webangah News Agency, Israel’s Foreign Ministry reacted to recent remarks by French President emmanuel Macron, accusing him of launching a “crusade against Israel.”
The statement, without addressing the ongoing genocide in Gaza or the blockade preventing humanitarian aid, falsely claimed that Macron’s accusations of Israel imposing an inhumane siege on Gaza were lies.
Expressing outrage over Macron’s supportive stance, the ministry alleged that the French president seeks to reward Hamas by advocating for Palestinian statehood rather than pressuring the group.
Yesterday morning, Macron emphasized that recognizing an independent Palestinian state under specific conditions is both a moral obligation and a political imperative. He warned of Paris toughening its stance toward Tel Aviv over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
The French president stated that if no progress is made on Gaza’s humanitarian situation, France would escalate its position against Israel. He reiterated: “Recognizing Palestine under particular circumstances is an ethical duty and a political demand.”
Macron had previously indicated that France might recognize a Palestinian government by June next year. He stressed this move would be timely for regional security and that only a political solution could ensure lasting peace.
The French leader also rejected former U.S.President Donald Trump’s forced displacement proposal, asserting: “Gaza is not real estate-you cannot erase history and geography.”
