Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that France President Emmanuel Macron commits “a serious mistake” by promoting the idea of a Palestinian state. Last week, he made several statements about the possibility of recognizing a Palestinian state for France.
“The president makes a serious mistake in continuing to promote the idea of a Palestinian state in the heart of our land, a state whose only aspiration is the destruction of Israel,” criticized in X. Macron comments generated a wave of right and far right protests in France.
Requests for a “two-state solution”-one of them Palestinian, alongside Israel-have multiplied since the current conflict in the Gaza Strip in 2023. A total of 147 countries recognize the Palestinian state. Last year, Ireland, Norway, Spain and Slovenia took this step, but great European powers, such as France, Germany and Italy, abstained.
