Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warns France in following trend of several other European countries to accept Palestine as a state would be a “grave mistake”.
French Parliament is expected to vote for recognizing a Palestinian state in a possible vote in December، for which Israeli PC dissed، stating “Recognition of a Palestinian state by France would be a grave mistake،” while speaking to reporters in Jerusalem، and went on to add “Do they have nothing better to do at a time of beheadings across the Middle East، including that of a French citizen?” a direct referral to the decapitation of French national Herve Gourdel by Algerian jihadists.
“The State of Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people، the only state that we have، and the Palestinians demanding a state do not want to recognize the right to have a state for the Jewish people،” he added.
Hours before Netanyahu made this statement، the Israel government had approved a controversial “Jewish State Bill” which if given approval by parliament، will transform Israel as “national homeland of the Jewish people” the previous contrast of a “Jewish and Democratic State.”
