French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially 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 growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and frustration with stalled peace efforts. Macron's move has drawn sharp criticism from Israel, the United States, and some European allies, who argue it could embolden Hamas and complicate peace negotiations. Supporters, however, see it as a necessary step to revive the two-state solution and pressure other Western countries to follow suit. The announcement has intensified debate over the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Europe's role in Middle East diplomacy.
