Milan, 15 Apr. (LaPresse) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron, to whom he ‘expressed strong opposition’ to the recognition of a Palestinian state, ‘saying it would constitute a huge reward for terrorism’. This was reported by Netanyahu's office, adding that the prime minister ‘reminded’ Macron ‘that to date not one Palestinian official, not even from the Palestinian Authority, has condemned the 7 October massacre, and that in the Palestinian Authority their children are educated to destroy Israel and cash prizes are given to murderers of Jews’. Netanyahu also told the French president ‘that a Palestinian state established just minutes from Israeli cities would be a stronghold of Iranian terrorism, and that the vast majority of Israeli public opinion is firmly opposed to this and this is also his consistent and long-standing policy’, concludes the Israeli Prime Minister's office.
