French plan to recognize Palestine as a state ‘a reckless decision’: Rubio
In a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Marco Rubio wrote that this reckless decision will only help Hamas’s propaganda. And delay the establishment of peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of the October 7 (2023) attack. On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian independence-seeking armed organization Hamas attacked Israel. In response, Israeli forces began an indiscriminate attack on Gaza, Palestine, which is still ongoing.
In a post on Exe on Thursday night, Macron announced that his country would recognize Palestine as a state at the UN General Assembly session next September. In the post, Macron also wrote, “The most urgent thing at the moment is to end the war in Gaza and save the lives of ordinary people. French citizens want peace in the Middle East.”
The French president wrote, “At the same time, Hamas must be disarmed. Gaza must be secured. Gaza must be rebuilt. It must be reconstructed by ensuring security. A Palestinian state must be formed. The environment for the survival of this state must be ensured.”
