US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee dismissed France’s potential upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state, calling the move “revolting” while Israel fights Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
“It’s incredibly inappropriate in the midst of a war that Israel is dealing with to go out and present something that I think increasingly Israelis are steadfast against,” he told Fox News.
Huckabee’s comments came after French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday that recognizing a Palestinian state, with conditions, is “not only a moral duty, but a political necessity.”
Macron also said that European countries should “harden the collective position” against Israel if it did not respond appropriately to the humanitarian situation in Gaza, including keeping open the possibility of sanctions.
France is considering recognizing a Palestinian state ahead of a United Nations conference, which France and Saudi Arabia are co-hosting from June 17-20, to lay out the parameters for a roadmap to a Palestinian state, while ensuring Israel’s security.
“October 7 changed a lot of things,” said Huckabee, referring to the Hamas-led terror onslaught in 2023 that started the Gaza war. “If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them — carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation.”

that would be a Nice place to put it
I thought France already was a Palestinian State.
Well played. 👏 👏 👏
They already have Paris.
They already are, Mike, they already are.
It should have been carved out of Germany and Poland in 1946
Put it between Russia and Ukraine.
That’s fine - the lands should have been taken from those countries that
perpetuated the holocaust
The “Palestinians” already have their own state, Gaza. They could not even manage that, using it for only one purpose: to attack Israel. They had a thriving export business consisting of two 747s a week loaded with fruits and vegetables to Europe—they screwed that up too, ransacking and destroying the greenhouses. The problem is the phony religion, once that is addressed maybe there will be peace in the middle east. DO NOT hold your breath.
“We’ll always have Paris”....
yet ANOTHER reason for the USA to unjoin NATO ...
The US should have not taken part in the UN, they should have brought the people wanting to live in peace, to the US. We should hever get involved in this literally Un-Godly blaspemy. When the tribes of Israel return to Zion, it will by Gods Holy hand, and there will be peace in the land.
I wish the blinders would fall from the eyes of Christians who believe to the bottoms of their hearts, that supporting the modern nation Israel is a Holy thing to do. The UN founded that nation, funded by the Rothschilds and those who print paper bills called money.
It is a thorn in the side of the world that will lead to the Apocalypse. COME OUT OF HER, death and destruction will come before “Gods Exodus”.
right on, Ambassador Hucklebee!
and Mercon is just the kind of guy to do it, too
France is already a long-gone lost cause and he knows it
giving half of France away formally to the Fakestinian terrorists would not change much for France
its sorta like ladies on the Titanic giving away half their jewelry while the ship was sinking
Sounds as though someone in France can’t see the forest for the trees.
Typical liberal response, they’re always good at spending other people’s money, but when it’s their own, no dice.
Makes perfect sense. The orginal “PLestinian,” Yassir Arafat, was born in Egypt
Go Huck! 😆
Too many burning tires and such, eh?
