"It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas’s refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews, and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets."

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada has plans to recognize a Palestinian state because “the expansion of Israeli settlements” annoys him.

Sources familiar with the details told the New York Times that France's Macron intended to recognize a Palestinian state due to immense internal pressure.

Israeli hostages and the people of Gaza will be the first victims of the tragedy, he said.

"This French president, we must let him know, he has every interest in preparing his coffin," said Rabbi Daniel David Cohen, casting Emmanuel Macron in the vein of Roman Emperor Titus.

“What I found most impressive,” Frédéric Journès explained, “was the movement of many Muslim and Arab states - now clearly saying: There can be no Hamas in governance."

"We find the recent humanitarian reactions coming from Europe, particularly from France and Britain, very valuable," Erdogan said in Ankara.

Most recognitions of Palestine are not legal affirmations of full statehood but political support for Palestinian self-determination and a two-state solution.

Israel has no choice but to scorn such Western leaders and continue to independently secure its future, and must weather the threats of diplomatic and economic isolation from the world.
