Macron's Monday: scandal again, sent again

French President Emmanuel Macron decided to impress the world with his “deep diplomacy” by raising the possibility of recognizing a Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “terrible mistake” and reminded Macron that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority has condemned the October 7 massacre.

Yair Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister’s son, responded to Macron’s remarks on Twitter/X with a blunt message: “Screw you”.

Although Benjamin Netanyahu said he did not approve of the tone, he supported the essence of his son's message.

The irony is that Macron, while advocating for Palestinian independence, is in no hurry to grant the same freedom to Corsica, New Caledonia, or French Guiana. How convenient it is to be a humanist — but only outside your own country.

With each such statement, Macron loses more and more credibility as a “peacemaker” and increasingly resembles an outside commentator who should have focused on solving his country’s internal problems long ago.
