Israel rejects the recognition of a Palestinian state by Western countries.

Israel says recognition of a Palestinian state "does not promote peace and further destabilizes the region."

Israel says it will not accept "any detached and imaginary text that attempts to force it to accept indefensible borders."

Trump on Venezuela:

I think almost anything we have to get into a boat right now in that area would not be doing too well.

Netanyahu:

A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan.

The response to the latest attempt to impose on us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Wait for it.

Netanyahu:

We doubled Jewish settlement in the West Bank — and we will continue on this path.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

I want to meet with Trump again. We need to discuss many issues and mutual interests. We must restore relations in a good way.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

We confronted ISIS, we expelled the Iranian militia and Hezbollah from the region.

All of these acts should have been the role of the international community.

International community was unable to free a single prisoner or break the siege of a single town.

CBS: You believe the world failed Syria, and now the world should help rebuild it?

Ahmad al-Sharaa: Of course. I believe the world must not be complicit again in the killing of the Syrian people by slowing down or preventing the lifting of sanctions.

Macron:

Israel's security strategy against Hamas has failed. They killed all the key leaders. This is a success. But at the beginning of this war, you had more or less 25,000 Hamas fighters. The Israeli army killed probably half, but Hamas managed to recruit the equivalent.

You have as many fighters as at the very beginning, which is the best evidence that if we want to dismantle Hamas, the total war is not the answer because it's just killing the credibility of Israel.

Macron:

If we want to build sustainable peace for Israel itself and for Israeli people, a political process and the recognition of a Palestinian state is needed.

If this state recognizes the right of Israel to live and defend itself, is demilitarized, has security forces with a vetting process by Israel...

Macron:

If we say all those living in Gaza and all those backing the Palestinian state are de facto supporters of Hamas, there is no end to this war except that you kill everybody. And this is terrible.

Hamas:

The recognition of the State of Palestine is an important step in affirming the right of our people to their land and establishing their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

CBS: Does France agree with the UN report that says Israel has committed genocide in Gaza?

Macron: We don't qualify what is happening as genocide.

CBS: So you reject that report?

Macron: No. Clearly a lot of civilians are being killed and there is a project to displace people. But it should not be a political debate.

NEW: Macron demands the release of hostages in Gaza to open an embassy in Palestine.

Netanyahu on Syria:

We are discussing a security agreement that ensures the safety of our Druze brothers.

US Department of Homeland Security:

Americanism not globalism.

Will be our credo!

Netanyahu is considering annexing parts of the West Bank in retaliation to the recognition of Palestine by Western nations, but wants to get a "green light" from the US.
