French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the state of Palestine, making it the first G7 nation to do so. This move comes amid mounting international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and frustration with stalled peace efforts. Macron’s decision has drawn sharp criticism from Israel, the United States, and some Jewish organizations, who argue it could embolden Hamas and undermine negotiations. Supporters hope the recognition will pressure other European countries to follow suit and revive momentum for a two-state solution. The announcement has intensified diplomatic tensions and could reshape the international approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
