Emmanuel Macron spoke again. But what is a presidential word worth when she contradicts her own promises, two months after having put them? Not long ago, the head of state solemnly laid four conditions to recognize Palestine: a viable state, a legitimate authority, a clear commitment to recognize Israel, and especially the immediate release of all Israeli hostages. Four tags, he said, to avoid diplomatic excitement. Today, he tramples them one by one.
The hostages? Currently, 49 people are still retained in Gaza by Hamas, 27 of whom have been declared dead by the Israeli army. Viability? She is nonexistent. Gaza is in the hands of Hamas, Islamist movement, responsible for the massacre of October 7, which governs by terror. Legitimacy? The Palestinian authority, supposed to embody a state embryo, has been driven from Gaza since 2007. It has neither the power, the authority, the confidence of her own population. As for the recognition of Israel? There is no question of it. Neither in speeches, nor in acts, nor in the intentions of the beneficiaries of this decision. Nothing. The void.
And who applauds? Hamas, which shouts victory. Rima Hassan, who shows off as a martyr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, still ready to align with the enemies of Israel. This is the real effect of this announcement: it confirms those who blow on the embers of anti -Semitism, not the craftsmen of peace.
Emmanuel Macron plays the president of the world to make us forget that he is no longer the president of Grand-Chose
When you no longer governs, you are agitated. When we no longer weigh, we proclaim. Emmanuel Macron no longer carries out a foreign policy: he plays the president of the world to make people forget that he is no longer the president of Grand-Chose. Contested inside, inaudible outside, he now embodies an authority empty of his substance.
For months, the Head of State has become the man erased from the five -year term. He no longer contrasts, no longer reforms, no longer decides. So to reappear, to make believe that he remains at the controls, Emmanuel Macron draws what he has left: a stroke of com ‘.
Recognizing the Palestinian state, now, in this chaos, without serious partner, without required requirement, without expected return, it is not an act of diplomat: it is a reflex of illusionist. A flash to make the mastery believe. A free gesture, without apparent cost – but heavy with political meaning.
The right fulminates, the far left jubilee
And this sense, everyone understands it. The United States disavowed. Israel denounces. Europe is divided. In France, the right flies, the center is silent, the far left jubiless. When Hamas thanks you and Jean-Luc Mélenchon kisses you away, there is little chance that you are on the right path.
Because basically, it is not Palestine that Emmanuel Macron seeks to make exist. It is himself. A president who clings to his diplomatic reflection so as not to sink into silence. A man who still wants to shine, for lack of being able to govern again.
The illusion is total. You just have to listen to Donald Trump, rough formwork, to measure the level of influence now granted to France: “He’s a good guy, I like him, but his statement has no weight, has no importance. »» A dry, humiliating phrase, which summarizes the perception of the French president: that of a talkative commentator but without taking on events.
Because in reality, what does this recognition produce? Nothing. Not a cease-fire in Gaza. Not a step towards peace. Not a weakening of Hamas, still holding Israeli hostages. Not a burst of the Palestinian authority. France speaks alone – and no one is eating the ear.
While the Élysée dreams of history, the real continues to be written in dust and blood
This gesture does not move any line. He does not rebalance any balance of power. He does not pressure anyone. He flatters the illusions but certainly does not constitute the Palestinian factions. It offers a symbolic victory in Hamas while maintaining the Gazani people under their thumb. And while the Élysée dreams of history, reality continues to be written in dust and blood.
Macron wanted to make an impression? He only recalled his helplessness. He hoped to restore his stature? He strengthened those who dispute it. He dreamed of entering the great book of diplomacy? He put himself in the section of lost illusions. Because we do not make peace with proclamations. Nor with cards. Nor with announcements. It is not enough to speak loudly to govern. It is not enough to be seen to count. And it is not enough to communicate to exist.
