Macron promised France will recognize Palestine.
Will it matter?
No.
147 UN member states already recognized it. It won't depend on adding one more, or a couple.
As long as the US can say no, it won't happen.
And even if it happened, would it fix the Middle East magically?
No. Excuses can be found wherever they want it.
But what the fuck Israel wants? Do they want millions of Palestinians as minority in Israel? They do not. The two state solution would be an out for them, it's just a bone they cannot stop chew. Or like an addiction. They know they should stop, face with their own faults and the consequences, but it would free them. But they can't.

Now ofc the other numbnuts are chiming in, Starmer and Merz is getting concerned over Gaza, and Meloni plays the wise that recognizing before it became reality might be problematic. Good morning, sweetheart! It should had happened in the 80s!
