The US Secretary of State called the decision a "slap in the face".
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio considers French President Emmanuel Macron's plans to recognize a Palestinian state irresponsible.
He said this in a social media X.
"The United States strongly rejects Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly. This irresponsible decision only plays along with Hamas propaganda and delays peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of the events of October 7," he said.
We will recall that earlier Macron promised that France would recognize Palestine as an independent state at the UN conference in September.
