Ammon News - Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned on Sunday that Israel would take "unilateral measures" in response to any recognition of a Palestinian state, following French President Emmanuel Macron's comments last month regarding the possibility of doing so.

"Any attempt at unilateral recognition... will only harm the future prospects of a bilateral process and will push us to take unilateral measures in response," Saar said during a press conference with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, in Jerusalem.
