The question of a possible state of Palestine continues to wave the international scene. While Emmanuel Macron announced less than a week ago that France would recognize such an entity on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly next September, the American ambassador to Israel is again at the niche.
Strongly opposed to this decision, Mike Huckabee estimated on the American channel Fox News on Tuesday that it came back to “Give a victory to the Nazis after the Second World War”. According to the American diplomat, this is indeed a victory for the Palestinian terrorist movement Hamas, in power in the Gaza Strip and against which Israel struggles. Recognition of a state would reduce “All hope that (Islamist organization) renounce “ To his attacks against the Hebrew state, assures the ambassador.
Mike Huckabee had already denounced with irony the choice of Emmanuel Macron, jokingly that France could give in the French Riviera to the new Palestinian State. “Macron’s unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state did not specify where it would be. I can now announce exclusively that France will offer the Côte d’Azur and that the new nation will be called French ”he wrote on X last Friday.
The White House had also denounced a decision “Reckless” On the part of the President of the Republic, while Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu had accused Paris of “Reward terror. »» Other international leaders, such as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,, on the other hand, praised this initiative.
Across the Channel, London seems to want to follow the traces of the French head of state. This Tuesday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer indicated that the United Kingdom would recognize the state of Palestine in September, unless Israel was committed to establishing a “Ceasefire” In the Gaza Strip, “Not to be annexed the West Bank and accepts a long -term peace process targeting a solution to two states.”
