President Emmanuel Macron of France said in a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Tuesday that calling for the creation of an independent Palestinian state did not promote antisemitism.
“Our determination to ensure that the Palestinian people have a State is rooted in our belief that a lasting peace is essential to the State of Israel’s security,” the French president said in the private letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.
