"But we want our hostages back, and we don't want them back in, you know, ones and twos, and take the next two years to do it. We were the ones that got the hostages. And I always said, I told Steve, I told Marco, I was always saying the last hostages are going to be the toughest ones. But you can't honor them by doing anything like you suggest."
"But after almost two years of war, what is the result? They killed the top leaders of Hamas. It works. This is a great achievement. But at the same time, you have as many Hamas fighters as you had the first day. So it doesn't work to dismantle the Hamas. This is not the right way to proceed, he insisted."
Donald Trump criticized France's recognition of a Palestinian state as honoring Hamas, invoking the October 7 attacks and graphic descriptions of atrocities. Trump stressed recovering hostages, warned that the final hostages would be the toughest to free, and argued that recognition would not honor victims while saying the war should end but October 7 must be remembered. Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the October 7 atrocities, questioned results after nearly two years of war, noted that top Hamas leaders were killed while fighter numbers remain unchanged, and said dismantling Hamas had not been achieved. Macron formally recognized a Palestinian state at the United Nations.
