UN: Humiliated Israel envoy reacts as multiple western nations recognise Palestine, slam Bibi's war

Israel condemned the wave of Palestinian statehood recognitions by Western countries—particularly France’s high-profile announcement at the UN General Assembly—asserting it undermines peace and only encourages terrorism. Danon dismissed the ongoing UN summit as “theatre detached from reality,” arguing that diplomatic gestures do nothing to change conditions on the ground or bring security to Israelis, especially as dozens of Israeli hostages remain in Hamas captivity. Danon accused President Macron and other Western leaders of ignoring the realities of the October 7 attacks and accused the recognition process of rewarding violence rather than advancing a true two-state solution.
