French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September, making it the first G7 nation to do so.
The move has drawn sharp criticism from the United States and Israel, who called it 'reckless' and accused France of undermining peace efforts. Macron's decision is seen as a bold break from most Western allies and comes amid growing international frustration over the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Supporters, including Saudi Arabia and Spain, have welcomed the announcement as a historic step toward Middle East peace.
The recognition is largely symbolic but increases diplomatic pressure on Israel and highlights deepening divisions among Western powers over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
