🇮🇪🇫🇷🇵🇸⚡- "We welcome France's announcement of its recognition of the State of Palestine in September, and this is an important contribution to achieving the two-state solution," - Foreign Ministry of Ireland.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Macron's announcement of his intention to recognize the State of Palestine is a surrender to terrorism and a reward for Hamas," - Israel Katz, Israeli Defense Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "We will not allow the establishment of a Palestinian entity that threatens our security and existence and affects our historical right to the land of Israel," - Israel Katz, Israeli Defense Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "I thank President Macron for his decision which gave us justification to implement Israeli sovereignty definitively on the homeland in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] and throwing the idea of establishing an Arab terrorist state in the heart of Israel into the trash heap of history.

This will be our appropriate Zionist response to Macron and his partners' coercive unilateral attempts," - Bezalel Smotrich, Israeli Finance Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Macron awarded terrorism," - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre.

Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it.

Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel," - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Macron cannot provide security for Israel, let's hope he succeeds in doing so in the streets of Paris," - Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "The French President's claim to create by mere words the permanent arrangement in our land is absurd and not serious.

His statement this evening shows that all the conditions he himself set a few weeks ago have evaporated. Only the imaginary state he claims to establish remains," - Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "The Palestinian state will be a Hamas state just as the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip twenty years ago led to Hamas taking control of it.

Israel's attempt to base its security on Palestinian promises to fight terror completely failed in the Oslo process. Israel will no longer gamble with its security and its future," - Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Minister.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "The 'Land of Israel' belongs to the people of Israel, and even President Macron's declaration cannot change that," - Yariv Levin, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Macron has just awarded Hamas a prize for carrying out the massacre on October 7," - Amir Ohana, Israeli Knesset Speaker.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "This disgraceful act is nothing less than a betrayal by one of the so-called 'leaders' of the free world. It sends a chilling message: terrorism pays," - Amir Ohana, Israeli Knesset Speaker.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Macron will be remembered as a collaborator with evil - on the wrong side of history," - Amir Ohana, Israeli Knesset Speaker.

🇫🇷🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "I am ashamed that I met this man. I love France. It deserves braver leadership," - Amir Ohana, Israeli Knesset Speaker.
