צעד מרהיב של צרפת: מקרון יכיר במדינת פלסטין, מערער על הדיפלומטיה הגלובלית

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September. This decision marks France as the first G7 nation to take such a step, aiming to pressure other European countries to follow suit and to influence the stalled Middle East peace process. The move comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and frustration with the lack of progress toward a two-state solution. While some Arab countries and international organizations have welcomed the decision, Israel, the United States, and several European allies have condemned it, arguing it could embolden Hamas and complicate peace efforts. Macron’s announcement has sparked intense debate about its timing, potential impact on regional dynamics, and the future of Palestinian statehood recognition worldwide.
