Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent statement regarding the official recognition of the State of Palestine, calling the decision “meaningless” and without any real impact on global politics, Rks news reports.
In a pointed interview, Trump responded with irony toward the French leader:
“Emmanuel is fine, he’s a team player. But here’s the good news: what he says doesn’t matter. It won’t change anything,” said Trump, implying that France holds no decisive role in the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Macron’s statement, which expressed France’s intention to officially recognize Palestine as an independent state, has sparked various reactions on the international stage. France joins a growing list of countries that have pushed forward the recognition of Palestinian statehood amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
