Trump Dismisses Macron's Recognition of Palestinian State: "His Statement Doesn’t Carry Any Weight"

PALESTINE, JUL 25 – Trump rejects French recognition of Palestine amid stalled Gaza ceasefire talks with Hamas refusing to release hostages, while the US supports Israel, officials said.

  • At the White House on Friday, Donald Trump dismissed Macron’s recognition plan, stating `a desperate and irrelevant gesture`.
  • Following Hamas’s latest proposal, US negotiators pulled out after Steve Witkoff said the US team blamed Hamas’s reluctance to free remaining hostages.
  • On Thursday, Donald Trump said `did not want to make a deal`, and Benjamin Netanyahu said `Hamas is the obstacle to a hostage release deal`.
  • Amid Macron’s recognition plan, Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday called Macron’s proposal `a reckless decision` and `a slap in the face`, and the US reiterated its opposition to unilateral Palestinian state recognition.
  • According to the Associated Press, ceasefire talks are expected to resume next week, with an Israeli delegation due to leave for consultations early next week, Hamas official Bassem Naim said.
