Israeli and U.S. leaders have denounced President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that his country will recognize Palestinian statehood, becoming the first major Western power to do so.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “strongly condemned” the move, saying that it “rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became.”

“What he says doesn’t matter,” President Donald Trump said in reaction to Macron’s decision while speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday. "He's a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn't carry weight."
