Netanyahu’s Son Launches Fierce Attack on French President – What’s the Story?

The announcement by French President Emmanuel Macron that his country would recognize the State of Palestine has sparked outrage from Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Yair launched a fierce attack on Macron by reposting the French president’s tweet on the social media platform “X” and commenting:

“Damn you. Yes to the independence of New Caledonia, yes to the independence of French Polynesia, yes to the independence of Corsica, yes to the independence of the Basque Country, yes to the independence of French Guiana. Stop the new French imperialism in West Africa.”

President Emmanuel Macron had announced last Wednesday that France may recognize the State of Palestine in May.
