France Plans Palestine Recognition Amid Regional Divide

News summary

French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to recognize Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly in September, marking the first such move among G7 countries. This decision received mixed reactions: while Palestinian and Jordanian officials welcomed it as a historic step toward a two-state solution and urged other nations to follow, many French citizens and some politicians expressed skepticism or opposition, citing concerns over timing and the stance of Hamas. Macron's move aligns with his progressive political stance but has caused tension within his coalition government. France clarified that its recognition plan contradicts Hamas' position, highlighting the group's rejection of such moves. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations continue in Gaza, including the killing of Hamas' chief of counterintelligence, underscoring ongoing conflict amid these diplomatic developments.
