Emmanuel Macron's announcement that France will recognize a Palestinian state in September occurs amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Experts characterize the conflict as a genocide, with escalating military actions from Israel. Keir Starmer of the UK indicates similar recognition unless specific changes occur in Israel's actions. However, this recognition will not alter the current situation, and will likely benefit Israeli political dynamics. The Palestinian entity recognized lacks sovereignty and defined territory, leading to ineffective diplomatic efforts and potentially worsening conditions for Palestinians.
Almost two years into a conflict that has cost tens of thousands of lives, amid an Israeli military campaign and humanitarian blockade that have reached apocalyptic proportions, France will recognize a Palestinian state in September.
Emmanuel Macron announced France's recognition of a Palestinian state, which has been met with both Palestinian rejoicing and Israeli anger, while others view it as disconnected from reality.
The recognition will do nothing to end Israel's onslaught or bring the parties closer to a two-state solution, potentially boosting Benjamin Netanyahu's political fortunes.
The Palestinian entity recognized has no defined territory, no effective government, and no sovereignty, leading to empty statements and diplomatic gimmickry.
