French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September, making it the first G7 nation to do so. The move is seen as a significant diplomatic shift and comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and stalled peace efforts. The decision has been met with strong condemnation from Israel and the United States, who argue it undermines peace negotiations and could embolden Hamas. Supporters, including several European and Arab nations, hail the move as historic and hope it will pressure other Western countries to follow suit. The announcement has intensified debate over the path to peace in the Middle East and highlighted deep divisions among global powers on the issue.
