France to recognise Palestinian state but Germany and Italy say not yet
Published: 9/22/2025

France, led by President Macron, will recognize a Palestinian state, with other European countries also considering similar steps. This move, happening amidst the UN General Assembly, is seen as a step towards peace and security. However, countries like Germany and Italy have not joined the recognition, with Israel opposing the decision. Macron's plan includes phases to isolate Hamas and work towards a two-state solution, though it faces criticism from opponents.
