French PM candidate: Recognition of Palestinian state means recognition of terrorism

Jordan Bardella, the leader of the French right-wing National Unity Party and a candidate for the post of prime minister, said that recognizing the Palestinian state is equivalent to recognizing terrorism. He promised his fellow Jews to be a shield against Islam.

Today, the recognition of the Palestinian state is equivalent to the recognition of terror, said Jordan Bardella, the leader of the French right-wing National Unity Party and a candidate for the post of prime minister, on Monday, June 24.

“The two-state position (Israel and Palestine) became obsolete after the atrocities and attacks by Hamas on October 7. Recognizing a Palestinian state means recognizing terrorism. I will be a shield for our Jewish compatriots against Islamism," said Bardella, a candidate for the post of French Prime Minister.

The far-right politician added that he would not allow the sending of French troops to Ukraine and the delivery of long-range missiles capable of striking Russian territory.

Recall that on June 9, after the defeat of his Renaissance Party in the European Parliament elections, Macron decided to dissolve the National Assembly (Parliament) and hold early elections. The first round will be held on June 30, and the second round on July 7.
