Israeli PM Netanyahu & Son Yair Unite to Condemn France's Emmanuel Macron

In today's episode of India Global, Tensions are simmering in Western Europe and Israel as Benjamin Netanyahu and his son Yair unleash a fiery rebuke of French President Emmanuel Macron's push to recognize a Palestinian state.

Macron, speaking on French television, announced plans to recognize Palestine by June, hoping to inspire peace through reciprocal recognition of Israel. But his words sparked fury across Israel-and an explosive response online. Yair Netanyahu didn't hold back-accusing France of neo-imperialism and mocking its overseas territories. He even confused French Guiana with "French Guinea'. Netanyahu stood firmly behind his son, calling Macron gravely mistaken and slamming the idea of a Palestinian state as a threat to Israel's very survival. Citing silence from Palestinian leaders after the October 7 Hamas assault, Netanyahu accused France of dangerous double standards, demanding: 'Don't lecture us on peace while ignoring your own colonial realities.'
