French far right leader Marine Le Pen The President of the accused France Emmanuel Macron to legitimize the attack of October 7 by Hamas With its decision to recognize a Palestinian state.

Macron shared a statement on Thursday July 24, confirming that he had “decided that France will recognize the state of Palestine” and that he would make an official announcement before the The United Nations General assembly in September.

“Recognizing a Palestinian state today is recognizing a state of Hamas, and therefore a terrorist state,” said Le Pen of the National Rally on Friday morning on July 25, originally in French.

“In this gesture, there is no loyalty to the history of France – the opposite – and even less a guarantee of peace for Israel.

“While Hope has always led us to a solution to two states, this decision legitimizes the massacre of October 7 and the trace of suffering, even if the hostages remain in captivity.

“It is therefore a political and moral error, including towards the Palestinians who suffer under the reign of Hamas.”
