France will officially recognize the state of Palestine, "true to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East," Emmanuel Macron said.
The US strongly opposes France's plan to recognize Palestine at the UN, labeling it 'Hamas propaganda.' French President Macron announced the decision, supporting a two-state solution without Hamas, aiming to encourage Arab states to recognize Israel.
Hamas "didn't really want to make a deal" on a new Gaza cease-fire and hostage release, Trump said after the U.S. and Israel pulled negotiations from Qatar.
