Independent Palestine Would Be a Disaster for Palestinians

FRANCE, JUL 29 – Macron's recognition aims to sustain the two-state solution despite criticism that it may undermine hostage negotiations and shift regional diplomatic dynamics, officials said.

  • France’s recognition catalyzes debate on Israel’s future sovereignty in contested regions, highlighting complex geopolitical tensions and media narratives shaping public opinion globally.
