US Rejects Macron's Plan to Recognize a Palestinian State
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Washington does not support French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly.
On July 25, 2025, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Washington rejects French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to acknowledge a Palestinian state.
This decision was described by Rubio as 'reckless,' suggesting it would serve only Hamas propaganda and hinder peace efforts in the Middle East.
Macron had previously declared on Thursday that France intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, hoping this move could contribute to regional peace.
In contrast, Washington's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, expressed his belief that an independent Palestinian state is no longer aligned with US foreign policy goals.
This development comes amid escalating tensions and ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians, with both sides affected by the shifting political landscape.
