Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu tried on Sunday April 13 that French President Emmanuel Macron was making a “serious mistake” by promoting the idea of a Palestinian state. “President Macron makes a serious mistake by continuing to promote the idea of a Palestinian state at the heart of our land – a state whose only aspiration is the destruction of Israel,” wrote Benyamin Netanyahu on the social network X.
“We will not jeopardize our existence for illusions disconnected from reality,” he insisted. “We will not accept moral lessons on the creation of a Palestinian State which would endanger the existence of Israel, on the part of those who oppose the independence of Corsica, New Caledonia, French Guyana and other territories, whose independence would in no way threaten France,” he added.
Last week, the French head of state spoke on several occasions on the possible recognition of a Palestinian State. In an interview broadcast on Wednesday, Emmanuel Macron said that France could recognize the Palestinian state in June during a conference that Paris will co -resident with Saudi Arabia in the United Nations in New York, while scoring such a gesture in a reciprocal movement of recognition of Israel by Arab countries.
His remarks sparked a burst of protests on the right and the far right in France. Faced with the “shortcuts” and “false information”, the French president then published a message on X Friday in order to clarify the position of France. He underlined “the legitimate law of the Palestinians to a state and to peace, like that of the Israelis to live in peace and security, both recognized by their neighbors”.
“Go see!”
While relations between Israel and France have set out clearly in recent months, Benyamin Netanyahu has also disowned his son Yair who, on Saturday In a message in English published on Xhad written “will show you!” to Emmanuel Macron’s address. “Like any citizen, he is entitled to his personal opinion, although the tone of his response to the tweet of President Macron calling for the creation of a Palestinian State is unacceptable to me,” he said.
33 years old and currently living in Florida according to Israeli media, Yair Netanyahu also said in his tweet favorable to the independence of New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Corsica, the Basque Country and Guinea-undoubtedly confused with Guyana, which is a French department located on the north-eastern coast of South America.
