Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a post on Twitter on Sunday, said that French President Emmanuel Macron was making a "grave mistake" by promoting the idea of a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu asserted, "Macron is making a grave mistake by continuing to promote the idea of a Palestinian state in the heart of our land, a state that only aspires to destroy the State of Israel."
Macron announced that recognition of a Palestinian state could take place in June during a conference co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia at the United Nations headquarters in New York, placing this within the framework of a reciprocal move toward recognition of Israel by Arab countries.
