""They want a nation, they want a state, and we should not push them towards Hamas," Macron told CBS News's "Face the Nation" on Sunday. Macron said the move would help isolate Hamas, who led the attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023 in which more than 1,200 Israelis were killed and over 250 were taken hostage. Israeli military operations since then have killed over 65,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, in Gaza according to the Palestinian territory's Health Ministry."
"On Sunday, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia become the first major Western economies to recognize Palestinian statehood. The move is facing strong opposition from the United States and Israel. Israel's Foreign Ministry said the recognition moves do not "promote peace, but on the contrary further destabilizes the region and undermines the chances of achieving a peaceful solution in the future." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Sunday that there would be no Palestinian state,"
A United Nations summit aims to revive the two-state solution before the General Assembly. France's President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Arabia are jointly hosting the conference to promote Palestinian statehood. Several countries plan to recognize a Palestinian state, with the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia becoming the first major Western economies to do so. Macron said recognizing statehood would help isolate Hamas. Israeli operations since October 7, 2023 have killed over 65,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The United States and Israel oppose the recognitions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed there would be no Palestinian state and pledged to accelerate settler expansion.
