YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state builds on international outrage over Israel’s curbs on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, although it’s unlikely to have an immediate impact on the war against Hamas in the territory.

Macron said in a social-media post late Thursday he will announce the change of status during the next gathering of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September. He stressed the decision reflects France’s “historic commitment to a just and lasting peace.”

The move was criticized by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejects Palestinian statehood, a position that’s hardened since the Hamas attacks of October 2023 that triggered the conflict. Netanyahu said in his own social media post that “such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became.”
