Macron Gives Statement On Plans To Recognize A Palestinian State

And there it is — Emmanuel Macron, ever the globalist showman, just announced that France will formally recognize a Palestinian state this September at the United Nations General Assembly.

That’s right, in the same breath that Israel is still counting its dead from the October 7th massacre and hostages remain in Hamas’ hands, France has decided now’s the perfect time to hand the terrorists their greatest PR victory yet.

Macron, posting like some enlightened statesman on X, framed it as a “just and lasting peace in the Middle East.” Oh, please. You don’t get peace by rewarding groups that slaughter innocent men, women, and children.

But Macron’s delusion doesn’t stop there — he outlined a dreamy list of “priorities,” including demilitarizing Hamas and rebuilding Gaza, as if Hamas is just going to politely give up its rockets and tunnels because Paris asked nicely.

Israel, rightly, is furious. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett ripped Macron to shreds: “Macron’s recognition of a Palestinian state after the October 7th massacre isn’t diplomacy; it’s moral collapse.

It rewards mass murder and tells Islamist terrorists: kill Jews, and the world will hand you a state.” He’s exactly right. Macron is essentially telling Hamas: You burned families alive, you kidnapped children, you raped women, but hey — congratulations, here’s your statehood.

Meanwhile, Israel isn’t sitting still. The Knesset just passed a resolution declaring support for applying sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley — 71 to 13. Israeli Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich thanked Macron (with maximum sarcasm) for giving Israel “another compelling reason” to finally annex those territories outright. If Macron thought his little UN stunt was going to pressure Israel into concessions, he just did the opposite.

Here’s the hard truth Macron won’t admit: There has never been a Palestinian state. Judea and Samaria belonged to Jordan, Gaza to Egypt, and every time Israel offered peace, the Palestinian leadership chose war.

But now, France and its European buddies are handing over international recognition like candy at a parade — to an “authority” led by Mahmoud Abbas, who’s in his 20th year of a 4-year term. Democracy, huh?
