French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize Palestine as a state, making it the first G7 nation to do so.

Macron's move has sparked sharp criticism from Israel, the United States, and some European allies, who argue it could embolden Hamas and complicate peace negotiations.

The announcement has intensified diplomatic tensions and exposed divisions within the international community over how to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
