צרפת פורקת סדר: מקרון יכיר במדינת פלסטין, מעוררת מתיחות גלובליות

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize Palestine as a state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, making it the first G7 nation to do so. This bold diplomatic move sets France apart from the United States and most of its Western allies, who have not taken this step. The decision has drawn sharp condemnation from Israel and the US, with Israeli leaders accusing France of 'rewarding terror' and warning it could hinder peace efforts. Macron argues the recognition is necessary to advance peace in the Middle East and address the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The move has been welcomed by Palestinian leaders and Hamas, but has intensified diplomatic friction with Israel and the US.
