Macron Weighs Recognition of Palestinian State as Gaza Toll Mounts
- French President Emmanuel Macron is considering recognizing a Palestinian state ahead of a UN conference in June 2025 co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia.
- This consideration follows increasing calls from France and other countries for a two-state solution amid ongoing conflict and a rising death toll in Gaza.
- Macron emphasized that recognizing Palestine is a crucial step aimed at creating a cooperative environment where both Palestinians and Israelis acknowledge each other's legitimacy.
- While France debates recognition, the US firmly opposes unilateral steps, calling such moves a ‘reward for Hamas’ and urging support for Israel’s security.
- If Macron proceeds, France could lead Western nations in recognition, potentially intensifying international divisions but providing fresh momentum for peace talks.
