- Rubio says he can trigger new strikes, he could harden the conflict lines.
- Avoid comments on Israeli annexation plans, call them non -definitive.
- The United States Secretary of State makes these comments during Ecuador's visit.
The United States has told other countries that the recognition of a Palestinian State will cause more problems, said the United States Secretary of the United States, Marco Rubio.
“We told all these countries, we told everyone, we said that if you do this recognition, everything is false, it is not even real, if they do, it will create problems,” Rubio said from Quito, where he met with President Daniel Noboa and his counterpart Ecuador.
“There will be an answer, it will make it more difficult to obtain a high fire, and it can even trigger these types of actions that you have seen, or at least these attempts in these actions,” said Rubio, adding that he would not comment on the Israeli discussion of the annexation of the West Bank, but was not final.
“What I'm going to tell you is that it was totally predictable,” he said.
“We told all these countries before they left, and they did … it was not going to be a Palestinian state, because that is not the way in which a Palestinian state will happen, because they have a press conference somewhere.
He also repeated his position that the impulse to raise the Palestinian authority, based in the West in the West, emboldened Hamas in Gaza.
“At the time, the day, that the French announced what they did, that day, Hamas moved away from the negotiating table,” Rubio said.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, convened a UN summit for September 22, where he will recognize a Palestinian state, expressing exasperation for the terrible situation and what he sees as Israeli intransigence.
On Wednesday, the Minister of Finance of the extreme right of Israel, Bezalel Smotrich, requested the annexation of the rings of the West Bank to “bury the idea of a Palestinian state” after countries, including Belgium, Canada and Australia, joined the French impulse in the condition of state.
The United Arab Emirates, who took the historical step to normalize relations with Israel in 2020 in the so -called Abraham agreements, quickly warned that annexation was a “red line” that “severely undermine” the agreement, seen therefore the president of the United States, Donald Trump as the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an achievement that says.
Trump has been an open supporter of Israel in his implacable assault on Gaza who followed the attack of Hamas unprecedented against Israel on October 7, 2023.
