Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

Macron, Starmer and Carney on Palestine.
Trump on Macron on Palestine (apparently Starmer and Carney don't rate)
Before flying to Scotland on Friday, Donald Trump subjected the preening French president to his worst humiliation: that of irrelevance. Macron’s geopolitically illiterate announcement on recognising Palestine “doesn’t matter”, Trump said.
“He’s a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn’t carry weight,” he added, bringing to mind Jon Snow’s observation in season seven of Game of Thrones that “everything before the word ‘but’ is horse s—”.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, then came the real twist of the knife. “Here’s the good news,” Trump concluded. “What he says doesn’t matter. It’s not going to change anything.”
there will be no Palestinian state unless the Americans and Israelis agree to one. And that ain’t going to happen while the Palestinians are led by regimes that support terrorism and refuse to recognise Israel’s existence.
And the prospective Course of Action?
What will be the result? Over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham told NBC News that Hamas had effectively signed its own death warrant, arguing that “there’s no way you’re going to negotiate an end of this war with Hamas”. “They’re going to do in Gaza what we did in Tokyo and Berlin, take the place by force and start over again, presenting a better future for the Palestinians, hopefully having the Arabs take over the West Bank and Gaza,” Senator Graham added.
That should be enjoyable. Watching the Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians or Egyptians seal the borders.

Trump just exposed how irrelevant the Europeans have now become
Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer are small men commenting on events over which they have no control

...
If they Europeans are irrelevant how irrelevant are we?
