Katz to Macron: You recognize a Palestinian state on paper and will be consigned to history.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz described his raid on Friday into the northern West Bank, where the settlement of Sa Nur was located before its evacuation and dismantling in 2005, as a "historic moment in favor of settlements," a response to Palestinian resistance factions, and a message to French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state.

Katz claimed that the message to Macron is: "You recognize a Palestinian state on paper, and that paper will be consigned to the dustbin of history. Settlements in the West Bank will grow and Israel will prosper. Don't threaten us with sanctions, you won't make us kneel, and we won't bow our heads because of threats."
