France plan to recognise Palestinian state ‘prize for terror’: Israeli minister

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denounced French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that Paris could recognise a Palestinian state by June, saying it would be a “prize” for terrorism.

France based news agency AFP reported this on Thursday (10 April).

“A unilateral recognition of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas,” Saar said on X late on Wednesday. “These kind of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer — but the opposite: they only push them further away.”
