On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron not only recognized a Palestinian state but also rewarded terrorism.

At the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, France — joined by the United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, and Australia — announced its recognition of a Palestinian state. Macron chose to declare this recognition during Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and less than two years after the Oct. 7 massacre (the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust). This rampage by the Hamas terrorist group has triggered an unprecedented wave of antisemitic attacks worldwide.
