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 nation to do so. This decision comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and frustration with stalled peace efforts. Macron's move has sparked strong condemnation from Israel and the United States, who argue it could embolden Hamas and undermine peace negotiations, while some European allies like Italy and the UK have declined to follow suit. Supporters hope the recognition will pressure other countries to act and revive momentum for a two-state solution, though critics warn it may further complicate Middle East dynamics. The announcement has intensified diplomatic tensions and highlighted deep divisions over the path to peace in the region.
