US Ambassador Calls For Establishment Of Palestinian State In France<\/span><\/p>\n

Via Remix News,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The new US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has challenged France to match its advocacy for a Palestinian state by creating a new one on French soil. He suggested that France \u201ccarve off a piece of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur,\u201d also known as the French Riviera, for the establishment of such a state. This proposal has prompted an angry response from Paris.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

During an interview with Fox News, Republican Huckabee stated, \u201cIf France is truly so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion: Carve off a piece of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur and establish a Palestinian state.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He added that France was welcome to take such an action, but criticized \u201cputting this kind of pressure on a sovereign nation,\u201d referring to France\u2019s stance toward Israel.<\/p>\n

Huckabee contended that the events of Oct. 7, 2023 \u2013 the unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel \u2013 \u201cchanged a lot.\u201d <\/strong>He deemed France\u2019s initiative at the United Nations to promote a Palestinian state \u201cincredibly inappropriate\u201d given that \u201cIsrael is in the middle of a war.\u201d<\/p>\n

France and Saudi Arabia are set to co-chair an international conference on the two-state solution.<\/p>\n

While not explicitly stating whether France would recognize a Palestinian state, French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Friday that the \u201ccreation of a Palestinian state\u201d under certain conditions was \u201cnot only a moral duty, but a political necessity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Macron also called for a tougher European stance and Western sanctions against Israel if the situation in the Gaza Strip does not improve soon. He may have a number of prominent backers, as European leaders increasingly call for action against Israel from a broad political spectrum. Notably, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz appears to be ready to increase pressure on Israel if the country continues blocking aid to Gazans. Other European leaders from Spain, Ireland, Norway, and a range of other countries, have already called for sanctions against Israel and the recognition of a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

In response, the Israeli government accused Macron of waging a \u201ccrusade against the Jewish state.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Friday that Israel would establish \u201ca Jewish-Israeli state\u201d in the West Bank, describing his declaration as a \u201cdecisive response to the terrorist organizations that seek to harm and weaken our control over this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katz further asserted that it was \u201ca clear message\u201d to \u201cMacron and his partners\u201d: \u201cThey will recognize a Palestinian state on paper \u2013 but we will establish the Jewish Israeli state here on this soil.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huckabee, known as a conservative hardliner, is a long-standing proponent of the Jewish settler movement in the West Bank, which has been deemed illegal by the United Nations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel has seen the number of allies dwindle in Europe; however, countries like Hungary appear to have only increased support for Israel since Oct. 7. Recently, Orb\u00e1n\u2019s government left the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and other Israeli officials, for war crimes. Orb\u00e1n also hosted Netanyahu on a state visit in Budapest at approximately the same time that he announced his country would leave the ICC.<\/p>\n
