U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly mocked French President Emmanuel Macron following France’s bold decision to recognise Palestine as a state. Dismissing Macron’s stance with the jab, “What he says doesn’t matter,” Trump’s taunt comes as Israel expresses outrage over France’s announcement. Macron’s move defies mounting pressure from Israel and signals a major geopolitical shift. Meanwhile, the U.S. has pulled its negotiating teams from Gaza talks, casting fresh doubt on any potential ceasefire and adding fuel to an already volatile situation.
