Israeli attempt to annex West Bank would be ‘red line’ for US, says Macron | Palestinian territories

He said that Israel will be a red line for the United States and represent the end of the Arab-Israel diplomatic normalization for the US.

Macron also announced that the US leader has offered a three -page plan on the future of Palestine based on the New York Declaration, and that he approved Hamas by more than 143 states, who propose to exclude future rules in Gaza and the West Bank.

Speaking at France 24, Macron said his purpose of meeting with Trump on Tuesday was to take America, European and Arab states on the same page.

It was asked that Israel plans to expand the settlement in the West Bank – including the E1 corridor that will include the construction of 3,400 new houses – said: “In this regard, Europeans and Americans are on the same page.”

British authorities, Donald Trump’ın England, Australia, France and Palestine decided to recognize others by retaliation to others’ concerns that Israeli sovereignty against illegal settlements in the West Bank expressed. Such a movement will be a serious blow for any two -state solution.

However, Macron said that the attempt to add the West Bank would be the end of Ibrahim agreements, one of the success stories of Trump. The United Arab Emirates was very clear. ”

“I think it’s a red line for the USA.”

Macron’s comments, Gaza conflict “one day later” plans in the back of the screen of the diplomacy of the most clear insight.

The signing of the 2020 Abraham agreements, which normalize the relations between Israel and a group of Arab states, was awarded by Trump as one of the diplomatic achievements of the first period of his duty.

If Trump insists that there should be no annexation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will cause serious political difficulties because some of the over -right government coalition demands to seize the West Bank partially or completely.

On the other hand, if Netanyahu continued with annexation, a two-state solution plan in which a Palestinian state was sitting next to Israel would be in a serious danger. Netanyahu will meet Trump at the White House on Monday and appeal to the UN General Assembly on Friday.

Macron said the first target in the “brand new” multi -stage plan was to ensure the publication of cease -fire and all hostages.

He said that he addressed Trump directly at his meetings: ız You have a big role to play and you want to see peace in the world, ”he said.

He said: “The US should convince the Americans to pressure Israel because it is the“ real leverage country ”.

Trump’s special ambassador Steve Witkoff said that the US president offered regional Arab and Muslim leaders a 21 -point peace plan in the Middle East at a meeting on Tuesday. Speaking at an event on the sides of the UN General Assembly, he said: “We are hopeful – and I can even trust myself – he said that we can announce some kind of breakthrough in the coming days”.

Macron said the Palestinian state aims to open a peace process that the French recognition is the best way to isolate Hamas. The aim, the militant group is terrified and disintegrated, he said.

However, some right members of the Israeli cabinet have more intends to disrupt any political settlement. “Some of them are not to fight Hamas, but to weaken the possibility of the path of peace,” he said. “There is no Hamas in the West Bank.”

He stressed that Netanyahu’s total war strategy was a failure because it endangered only hostages and could not reduce the magnitude of the Hamas army. “There is as much as Hamas fighter as it has before. The total war does not work from a practical perspective. This war is a failure.”

Macron said that the fate of the hostages and the civilian population of Gaza should not remain in the hands of people that the release of hostages is not a priority ”. “Netanyahu’s first priority is not the release of hostages – otherwise it would not start the last attack in Gaza, and in Qatar, negotiators would not shoot.”

The authority insisted that Hamas will be abolished as a part of Gaza and the West Bank’s future governance plan and that a Palestinian authority with new reform commitments will take responsibility at the end of a Palestinian authority. Did not give a time scale.

In the coming days, if he could not end the war, he warned that Europe should think about which other steps it will take; When asked if this means sanctions, he replied, “Obviously”.

When asked if there is a majority for sanctions in the European Union, he said that he tried to change it and added that each country has its own history and sensitivity – a reference to Germany, which resists sanctions with Italy.

Macron argued that the Palestinians should be presented to a political perspective for their future, and said, “A group of people, when you realize that you will lead them to a complete loss of hope 78 years ago, even if you realize that you will lead them to worse violence,” Macron said.
