The French warning. Emmanuel Macron warned, on Tuesday, September 2, Israel against any “offensive” or “attempt to annexation” of territories on Tuesday, September 2, claiming that this would not stop the Palestinian state recognition movement.
“No offensive, the attempt to annexation and the displacement of the populations will lead the dynamics that we have created with the heir prince and to which many partners have already joined,” he said, reporting a discussion with the heir of the Saudi throne Mohammed Ben Salmane.
The American decision not to grant visas to Palestinian officials for the UN General Assembly “is not acceptable,” he added. “We call to return to this measure and allow a Palestinian representation according to the siege agreement,” he said.

Israel denounces “a reward in Hamas”

In a conversation with his French counterpart, Jean-Noël Barot, the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, reiterated the American “strong opposition” to any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, “according to the State Department.
