Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism'
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as âreckless,â while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it âshamefulâ and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas.
Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy?
And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll.
With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.
Parliament may have shut up shop for a six-week summer break, but MPs and the French president are turning up the heat on Sir Keir Starmer over the Middle East. Sky News
U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron over his announcement to recognize Palestine this September. Trump dismissed Macronâs move as irrelevant, calling him a âlightweightâ and insisting his statement âdoesnât carry weight.â Breaking with much of the West, Trump doubled down on his support for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. As Macron urges an urgent end to the Gaza war, Trumpâs comments highlight a growing rift between Western leaders over the path to Middle East peace.

Gaza Ceasefire Talk FAILS: President Donald Trump said Hamas refused a Gaza ceasefire deal after Israel and the U.S. walked away from indirect negotiations with the militant group. âItâs too bad. Hamas didnât really want to make a deal. I think they want to die,â Trump stated. He suggested Hamas was unwilling to negotiate over the final hostages, knowing what would follow.

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syriaâs General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a âmisunderstandingâ and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says itâs intervening to protect the Druze community.
With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional warâor a chance for diplomacy to prevail?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syriaâs war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shiftâand a blow to Israelâs regional influenceâas Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war.

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nationsâhaunted by Iranâs military exports and nuclear ambitionsâannounced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saarâs visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russiaâs war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iranâs nuclear program as an existential threat.
Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a âglobal security menace,â and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of IsraelâUkraine ties, despite past tensions over Israelâs neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehranâs expanding influenceâand plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle EastâEastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.
