French Recognize Palestinian State, but to What End?
FRANCE, JUL 25 – France will be the first G7 country to recognize Palestinian statehood at the UN, aiming to revive the two-state solution amid ongoing Middle East conflict, officials said.
- On Thursday evening, French President Emmanuel Macron announced France's decision to recognize Palestine as a state, signaling a major policy shift.
- Macron made this move amid growing international calls to revive the two-state solution and praised Palestinian President Abbas for condemning Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.
- The recognition is largely symbolic as France joins 147 states that acknowledge Palestine within its pre-1967 borders, aiming to boost peace talks in a tense region.
- Israel's Netanyahu called the move a 'launch pad to annihilate Israel,' while U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio described it as a 'reckless decision' aiding Hamas propaganda.
- The decision increases pressure on Israel and European allies to urgently pursue peace, but its practical impact on the ongoing conflict remains uncertain amid violence.

Recognition of State of Palestine
If by September 2025, as promised by a growing coalition of European Union states, over 100 Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) nations, and key United Nations members, the State of Palestine is formally recognized, it will transform not just the diplomatic landscape but the lives of millions in Gaza and the West Bank. For 77 years, Palestinians have lived stateless, denied protection under international law, treated not as a people but as a problem. Thi…
European and Canadian ‘Statesmen’ Prepare to Reward Hamas for the Oct. 7 Attacks – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
What passes for “world opinion” these days is about to reward Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups for their savage attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. After condemning those attacks soon after they occurred, European and Canadian “statesmen” (I use the term loosely) now see fit to advocate recognition of a Palestinian state because Israel has had the temerity to strike back against its attackers in an effort to prevent its enemies from co…
