The US has strongly objected to France’s decision to recognize Palestine as a separate nation. US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio described it as an insult to the victims of the massacre of Israeli citizens on 7 October (2023). According to Rubio, this nonsense decision of French President Emmanuel Macron will increase Hamas’s propaganda and will push peace back in the Middle East. In this regard, US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio also posted on X (East Twitter). However, in relation to Palestine, French President Emmanuel Macron has said that the upcoming session of the United Nations will announce to make Palestine a separate nation.
According to the news agency AFP’s Tally, according to the AFP report, so far 142 countries have either already recognized Palestine or are planning to give in future. This number reflects the changing thinking of the international community, where the tendency to accept Palestine as a legitimate political unit is increasing. At the same time, France is the first such big Western European country which has clearly decided to recognize Palestine in this way.
The United States Strongly Rejects @EmmanuelMacron‘s plan to recognize a Palestinian State at the @Un General Assembly.
This Reckless Decision only services Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the Victims of October 7th.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized France’s decision. He said that it is harmful to the peace process. According to him, it encourages terrorist organizations like Hamas. This increases the risk of Israel’s security. This is an insult to the victims of the 7 October attacks. At the same time, this decision of France has also increased pressure on other countries of the European Union. Countries like Ireland, Spain, Norway have already expressed their desire to recognize Palestine. This indicates that Europe is no longer accepting the words of America. However, the US has long been in favor of the opinion that Palestine is recognized as a state only when it recognizes Israel and abandoned terrorism.
