Israeli officials responded quickly and sharply.
“We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the aftermath of the massacre of October 7,” said Prime Minister Benajamin Netanyahu in a statement.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin called the move “a black spot about the history of France and a direct boost for terrorism.”
He added: “The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel, and even the statement of President Macron will not change that.” Levin called on Israel to apply sovereignty about Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley and called it “a just and historical response to the shameful decision of the president of France.”
