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 country to do so. This landmark decision comes amid mounting international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and growing frustration with stalled peace efforts. Macron’s move has sparked sharp criticism from Israel and the United States, who argue it could embolden Hamas and undermine peace prospects, while some European allies remain hesitant or opposed. The announcement is seen as an attempt to pressure other Western nations to follow suit and to reignite momentum for a two-state solution. The decision has intensified diplomatic tensions and could significantly shift the dynamics of Middle East peace negotiations.
