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. The move has drawn immediate and sharp criticism from Israel and the United States, who argue it could embolden Hamas and undermine peace efforts. Macron's decision comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and aims to pressure for a ceasefire and renewed peace talks. While some European countries have recently recognized Palestine, others like Germany have declined to follow suit. The recognition is largely symbolic but could shift diplomatic dynamics in the Middle East and increase pressure on other Western nations to reconsider their positions.
