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 is intended to pressure other European nations to follow suit. The move has sparked strong reactions: Israel and the United States have condemned it, arguing it could embolden Hamas and hinder peace efforts, while some Arab states are preparing to condemn Hamas and call for its disarmament at the UN. Macron hopes the recognition will help revive stalled peace talks and push for a two-state solution, but critics warn it could deepen divisions within the G7 and complicate Middle East dynamics. The announcement has intensified debate over the path to peace and the international community's role in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
