In sarcastic tone, Mike Huckabe suggested to the president of France to offer part of the French territory to the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip; decision makes the country the first major western power to recognize Palestine
The Ambassador of em Mike Huckabee, mocked on Friday (25) the decision of the president of Emmanuel Macron, to recognize the from September. In response, Huckabee suggested that France give in a part of its own territory, the French Riviera, to create a new state for the Palestinians, which he dubbed “French.” The provocation occurred after Macron announced that France will become the first G7 country to formally recognize the Palestinian State, a step that will be officialized during the UN General Assembly. According to the American ambassador, France could offer the region of “Nice, Cannes” to form a “French Palestine.”
Macron’s measure represents a significant diplomatic movement, positioning France as a leader in the issue and increasing pressure on other European countries, such as UK and Germany, to define their positions. The decision is particularly relevant to France, which houses the largest Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe.
The French announcement was praised by Arab nations, such as Saudi Arabia, but the effectiveness of the measure is still uncertain. Recognition is largely symbolic, as the creation of a Palestinian state depends on a direct agreement with Israel, where the theme of the “two -state solution” faces strong internal political resistance.
