France Could Recognize Palestine by June, Says Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron has signaled that France may formally recognize the State of Palestine as early as June—if momentum stalls on efforts toward a two-state solution.
The announcement reflects a broader shift in Europe, where several countries are pushing for recognition of Palestinian statehood amid the escalating crisis in Gaza and the West Bank.
Macron stressed that such recognition should have real diplomatic weight, saying, “It must be useful, not just symbolic.”
With tensions high and pressure mounting, all eyes are on whether France’s move could spark a domino effect across Europe and beyond.
