Email from Zionist Organization of America   ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA Condemns France/Macron’s Recognition of a Non-Existent, Illegal Palestinian Terror State Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement: The ZOA condemns French President Emmanuel Macron’s “recognition” this past Thursday of a non-existent, illegal Palestinian terror state. Macron’s “recognition” of a State of Palestine rewards the Hamas and PLO/PA (Palestinian Authority) terror regimes; incites and promotes Arab/Islamic terrorism by sending a message that massacring 1,200 Jewish men, women, children and babies pays; violates Israeli sovereign rights and international law which guarantees under the San Remo agreement, UN Charter Article 80 and many more international agreements, the right of the Jewish people the areas that such a state may include and forbids the UN to transfer any part of Palestine to a non-Jewish entity; endangers Israel; tramples over the will of the Israeli people and its democratically elected officials and Knesset (all of which overwhelmingly oppose a Palestinian state); will incite further attacks on France’s beleaguered Jewish community; and could encourage other nations to follow Macron’s despicable example. It is sickening that while Hamas is still torturing and holding innocent Israelis hostage in the bowels of Hamas’ terror tunnels, and while the Palestinian Authority is still inciting and paying Arab terrorists hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to murder innocent Jews (“pay to slay”), that Macron is rewarding the Hamas and PA/PLO terror regimes. Apparently, France’s large Muslim population (estimated at ten percent of the population) and his 19% dismal approval rating has resulted in Macron losing any sense of decency, morality or respect for international law. And under Law a state cannot be established unless it has stability of institutions, democratic policies, rule of law, respect for human rights and protects minorities. Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority fulfill none of these requirements for statehood recognition. In fact, France’s own EU would forbid such an entity to join even the EU, let alone the UN. Furthermore, it would be a beggar state as Gaza/PA only survives due to the largesse of Iran and other countries. Notably, today, Palestinian Media Watch reported that PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ ( whose Fatah Charter calls for the destruction of Israel) senior adviser on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash stated that “everyone” (every Palestinian) “cheered and praised” the October 7 massacre of 1,200 innocent Israelis and wounding of another 5,000 Israelis and hostage-taking. This is clearly not a population that would live in peace with Israel. Macron is seeking to strengthen the very same people who are cheering the most terrible genocidal atrocities against Jews.   CONTINUE READING   Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email     Donate Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2025.
