THE Emmanuel Macron Speaking on a television medium of Israel He defended his decision to recognize the Palestinian state, as he pointed out, it would be the best way to isolate Hamas.
Speaking to the Israeli television network Channel 12, French President Emmanuel Macron, referred to his decision to recognize the Palestinian state, as he stressed is “the best way to isolate Hamas”, while condemning his “strongly again Israeli attack”.
“The recognition of the Palestinian state is simply the decision to point out the legal perspective of the Palestinian people, and that what is going on today has nothing to do with Hamas,” the French president told Channel 12.
He spoke about the purpose of his plan, which will accompany his official announcement Monday to the UN, considering that it is a “process” aimed at “activating a series of new behaviors and new commitments”.
The UN General Assembly has already adopted this plan by a large majority, which clearly excludes the Palestinian Islamist movement from any future governance.
“Therefore, recognizing a Palestinian state is the best way to isolate Hamas,” which does not want a solution of two states, but wants to “destroy you,” he explained on Israeli television.
According to Macron, whose decision is being criticized by Israeli authorities, “the approach of your government, in particular, is to destroy the possibility of a two -state solution.”
“There was an urgent need” especially because of the threats of annexing the occupied West Bank, “it was the last opportunity before the proposal of the two states became completely impossible,” he said.
When asked by Channel 12, the French president also acknowledged that he had “proposed to go” to Israel before the UN General Assembly next week to New York to explain his position before the Israeli authorities refuses that visit. He added that he wants to continue to work with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he “respects”.
However, Macron believes that Israel “completely destroys” its “image and credibility” in world public opinion due to victims among civilians in Gaza.
“Israel has achieved unique results on security, but conducting such businesses in Gaza is completely counterproductive and, I must say, is a failure,” the French president said.
According to Macron, in order to “break the vicious circle, Hamas must be destroyed, dismantled”, but “the military approach is not enough”.
Macron, who insisted that he did not make such decisions for internal policy reasons, condemned the fact that “French positions are distorted. This not only does it displease, but it also gets angry, “he said.
He let the threat of economic sanctions on Israel be tired if the new phase of the Gaza attack, “a huge mistake”, continues.
Finally, regarding Eurovision boycott calls if Israel is involved, the French president replied that he is “not in favor of boycott” in general.
