Netanyahu and Macron Clash Over Palestinian State Recognition

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his son strongly oppose French President Macron's call to recognize a Palestinian state, citing security concerns.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state within the coming months, aiming to foster reciprocal recognition of Israel by Arab nations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Macron's proposal, claiming it threatens Israel's security and accusing the Palestinian state of seeking Israel's destruction.
Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son, reacted on social media with a strongly worded post, including the phrase 'Screw you!' directed at Macron.

Macron emphasized a balanced approach, advocating for peace, Israel's security, and a Palestinian state without Hamas as part of his broader diplomatic vision.
