US Ambassador Slams France's Push for Palestinian State: "Incredibly Inappropriate"

France's initiative to recognize Palestinian statehood has sparked a heated response from Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel. In a recent interview with Fox News, Huckabee labeled the French move as "incredibly inappropriate," citing the ongoing conflict as a key reason for his opposition. He added, "I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing." Huckabee's criticism underscores the deep divisions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He sarcastically suggested that France could "carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state there." France's aim, according to a French diplomat speaking to Politico, is to restart peace talks. The UN conference next month will be a key moment in this ongoing diplomatic effort.
