Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, joined the criticism against French President Emmanuel Macron after his proposal to recognize a "Palestinian state."
Meloni warned that "recognizing a Palestinian state before it actually exists could be counterproductive". In an interview with La Repubblica, Meloni stated that "if something that doesn't exist is recognized only on paper, it can give the false impression that the problem is solved when it isn't".
Her words reflect a concern shared by the Italian government, which insists that the two-state solution must be built with realism, not with empty political gestures.
The recent statement by French President Emmanuel Macron, announcing that France will unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state, has caused a strong wave of criticism in Europe and the United States.

His proposal, made in the midst of the war initiated by Hamas, is not only untimely, but could also be interpreted as a reward to a terrorist organization responsible for the current tragedy.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was even clearer when he stated that "a Palestinian state that doesn't recognize Israel won't solve the conflict".
For Tajani, recognition would only make sense if it occurs simultaneously with a formal acceptance of Israel by the future Palestinian entity. "What matters to us is peace, not the victory of one of the parties", he emphasized.
The United States also firmly opposes this idea. Washington considers that a unilateral measure like the one proposed by Macron could sabotage diplomatic efforts and strengthen Hamas, which hasn't shown any willingness to achieve true peace.
In fact, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly criticized the French position, describing it as "disconnected from reality" and warning that "it sends the wrong message to Hamas," the only party responsible for the lack of an agreement to release hostages and reach a ceasefire.
Recognizing a Palestinian state in the midst of a war that Hamas provoked and perpetuates is, in practice, granting it a political victory.
Instead of pressuring the terrorists to surrender, Macron risks legitimizing their violence. Peace isn't built with hasty gestures, but with a real commitment to coexistence and security for both nations.
