Sec. Rubio: "Talks with Hamas fell apart on the day Macron made the unilateral decision that he’s going to recognize the Palestinian state. And then you have ... other countries say, well, if there’s not a ceasefire by September, we’re going to recognize a Palestinian state. Well, if I’m Hamas, I’ve basically concluded let’s not do a ceasefire. So those messages, while largely symbolic in their minds, actually have made it harder to get peace and harder to achieve a deal with Hamas. They feel emboldened."
