Rubio said France's unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood had led to the collapse of negotiations with Hamas, followed by similar actions by the UK and Canada. Criticism from the US and Israel has intensified amid a grave humanitarian situation in Gaza. Rubio pointed out that these decisions could encourage Hamas not to accept a ceasefire, considering them a victory. The US pulled out of the talks on the same day as France's announcement, accusing Hamas of a lack of good faith.
