US, Israel condemn France's move to recognise Palestinian state
Briefly

Marco Rubio criticized French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement to recognize a Palestinian state, labeling it reckless as it allegedly serves Hamas propaganda and undermines peace efforts. The U.S. firmly rejects this move, especially as President Trump’s administration confirmed non-participation in an upcoming UN conference focused on a two-state solution. Macron's declaration aims for formal recognition at the UN General Assembly, with France becoming a significant player among G7 nations pursuing this recognition. Various world nations, including Israel, condemned this decision, fearing it could escalate tensions and violence.
