Sa’ar: Recognition of Palestinian state won’t lead to regional peace, security or stability

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar denounces France’s potential recognition of a Palestinian state, after French President Emmanuel Macron says Paris may do so in the coming months.

“A ‘unilateral recognition’ of a fictional Palestinian state, by any country, in the reality that we all know, will be a prize for terror and a boost for Hamas,” writes Sa’ar in a post on X, without directly mentioning France. “These kinds of actions will not bring peace, security and stability in our region closer — but the opposite: they only push them further away.”
