TEHRAN – US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has shown light emptying against French, British and Canadian leaders as he plans to recognize the Palestinian state, calling them “clumsy.”
These three countries, which have sent arms to Israel in the nearly two-year war with Gaza, recognize that Israel has no restrictions on crimes against the Gaza people. Furthermore, these countries are also under pressure at home about what’s going on in Gaza, worrying about increased isolation in Israel.
Of the three countries mentioned, the UK and Canada condition their perception of Palestine, but the Trump administration still feels unhappy and frustrated.
Rubio humiliated the three countries and told Fox News that “the Palestinian state cannot exist unless Israel agrees to it.”
Canada and France are older than the UK. President Donald Trump, who has a greedy eye for Canada and is angry at Prime Minister Mark Carney, even threatened to punish Ottawa. “Amazing! Canada has announced that it supports the nation for Palestine,” Trump wrote about the true society. “It would make it very difficult for us to enter into a trade deal with them. Ah Canada!!!”
French President Emmanuel Macron was the first European leader to announce that Paris would recognize the Palestinian state in September, and that he would chair the UN General Assembly with the Saudi Kingdom in late July, and seek the recognition of Palestine to end the Gaza War.
Like Trump, who vented his rage at Carney, Rubio also called Marcon’s decision “reckless.”
“This reckless decision will serve Hamas propaganda alone and retreat peace. It is a slap in the face of the victims on October 7th,” Rubio wrote on X on July 25th.
Contrary to what Rubio claimed, France said the decision was intended to prevent a similar October 7 attack.
Rubio and Trump’s comments show that the US will not shake up in support of the Hawks in Israel.
Of the 193 UN member states, around 147 currently recognize Palestine. Washington fears that perceptions by Canada, France and the British will encourage the rest of the countries to join the campaign and isolate the US and Israel more than ever.
The world believes that, except for the United States, there is no alternative but the two states’ solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where Palestinians and Israel live in peace with each other.
In fact, the United States is opposed to the efforts of the international community to end the decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Better than working with the Hawks or calling them Israeli war criminals, the Trump administration is trying to force the remaining Palestinians to leave their homelands in Gaza and the West Bank.
Two sources with knowledge of the matter told Axios at the time, the director of Israel’s Mossad Spy Agency visited Washington on July 18th and asked for our help to persuade the country to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza.
Spy chief David Barnea told White House envoy Steve Witkoff that Israel is talking to Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya, among other things.
Contrary to certain claims, the Trump administration appears to be opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state. In June, Washington’s Israeli ambassador, Mike Huckabee, said he didn’t believe an independent Palestinian state was the goal of the US foreign policy.
Not only is the US not trying to do its part with the Palestinian state, it complicates the situation. On July 31, the State Department announced sanctions against Palestinian authorities and officials of the Palestinian Liberation Agency for bringing the case to the International Criminal Court and attempting to “internate” conflicts with Israel, including “damaging the prospects of peace.”
In addition to trying to halt efforts to create a Palestinian state, American officials consider Palestinians to be subordinates and believe that Palestinians do not even have the right to shout crimes and crimes against humanity at the hands of Israel in front of UN courts.
Even if all countries vote for Palestine, the US kills the move because it must be approved by the UN Security Council, where the US has the power to veto.
