Emmanuel Macron’s position on a Palestinian state “doesn’t matter,” President Donald Trump said after the French president announced he would recognise the war-torn territory as a state.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Trump brushed off France's plan to recognise a Palestinian state, calling Macron’s move meaningless and saying it won't impact the Israel-Palestine conflict.
