The Trump administration on Thursday night strongly criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in September.

Macron’s announcement comes amid growing concern in Europe about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
