French President Emmanuel Macron Outlines Intention of Recognizing Palestinian State

Below is the full interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and French President Emmanuel Macron. A portion of this interview aired on “Face the Nation”, however this is the complete interview.

Yesterday the U.K, Canada and Australia, 3 of the Five-Eyes western intelligence networks, announced their recognition of a Palestinian state.  France will announce the same today.  Israel is now slightly more vulnerable and in a diminished position of support from the western allied nations.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more dependent on support from the U.S. than ever before.

President Macron is also facing significant domestic opposition, and his prior appointed Prime Ministers have failed and been removed. The French economy is struggling, and Macron has deflected attention to the Ukraine war in an effort to avoid domestic accountability.  With the Ukraine vs Russia conflict taking a lower profile, thanks in part to President Trump’s approach – demanding NATO/EU stop purchasing Russian energy products in order to gain U.S. support for increased sanctions, Macron now shifts attention to the Israel-Hamas war.  WATCH:
