French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, making it the first G7 nation to do so.
This move marks a significant shift in Western policy and has drawn sharp criticism from both the United States and Israel, who argue it undermines peace efforts and could embolden Hamas. Macron says the decision is aimed at promoting a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and ending the ongoing war in Gaza. The announcement comes amid growing international frustration over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and increasing calls for a two-state solution.
France's recognition is largely symbolic but puts added diplomatic pressure on Israel and its allies.
