US ‘strongly rejects’ French plan to recognise Palestine, Saudis hail ‘historic decision’
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted French President Emmanuel Macron decision to recognise a Palestinian state as “reckless” while Saudi Arabia described it as “historic” as world reactions to the plan poured in ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting in September.
"I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine" Macron wrote on X. France will become the first G7 nation to do so.
