Netanyahu warns: Macron's Palestine plans are illusions!
On April 13, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the recent statements by French President Emmanuel Macron on the recognition of Palestine as a state. Netanyahu described Macron's attitude as a "serious mistake" and warned of "remarkable illusions" that could endanger Israel's existence. In an interview, Macron expressed that France was considering the opportunity to recognize Palestine in June and urged several countries to “mutual recognition”. This announcement takes place in the context of a planned conference that is led together with Saudi Arabia.
Macron confirmed the support of France for a two -state solution, which should guarantee both peace and security for Israel and an independent Palestinian state without the influence of Hamas. He also called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza War and an end to the Israeli blockade of aid deliveries.
recognition of Palestine in the international community
The question of international recognition of the state of Palestine has been the focus of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for years. According to various reports, almost 150 UN member states of Palestine have recognized as a state, but important western countries such as the USA, France, Great Britain and Germany reject this recognition. While the census in UN Resolution 67/19 of 2012 with 138 votes for and 9 gives a clear picture against recognition, efforts to official membership in organizations such as the WHO often occur due to political pressure.
The status of Palestine as a observer state for the United Nations, which it has been holding since November 29, 2012, gives the state access to UN sub-organizations and the International Criminal Court. However, the situation remains tense; International recognition is severely hindered by geopolitical considerations and the attitude of the United States, which adopted their resolutions against the recognition of Palestine on July 18, 2024.
further background and perspectives
The two -state solution, which strives for a peaceful coexistence of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, is rejected by both Netanyahu and Hamas. This rejecting attitude contradicts the broad international support for the idea, which for many is seen as the only way to a stable peace in the region. Despite the challenges, hope for a diplomatic solution continues to exist, as the impending conference and the initiatives of Macron show for recognition.
In view of the geopolitical situation, the question of whether Europe's leading states, under pressure from the questions of their own parliaments, can finally seriously perceive their presence and responsibility on the international stage and can bring about an agreement in the Israel Palestine conflict. This could not only represent a historical upswing for the region, but also for political relationships between West and East, provided that all sides are willing to go diplomatic paths.It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, especially with regard to the next steps of the French President and the reactions from Israel and other affected countries.
