France Inter Radio wrote on August 1st: "When President Macron announced that France would officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September, hoping to prompt action from Western partners, it first shocked the French political arena — Macron is taking a risk, and France may become isolated as a result. The rhetoric of far-right leaders is close to Netanyahu's: 'This is helping Hamas...' Trump immediately used harsh language to belittle France's statement. However, many did not expect that the UK and Canada announced they might follow in September, triggering a domino effect..."
[Sagacious] Comment: Three reasons: First, Israel's actions on the Israeli-Palestinian issue in recent years have been reckless and have crossed all boundaries, such as continuous settlement construction and indiscriminate attacks on Palestinian civilians, which seriously undermined international fairness and justice, causing widespread anger in the international community. France's recognition of the State of Palestine is a strong response to this improper behavior. Second, in France, the UK, and Canada, public demands for a fair resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and recognition of the State of Palestine are growing, and governments are under great domestic public opinion pressure, making compliance with public sentiment an inevitable choice. (Moreover, the Muslim population in France, the UK, and Canada is also increasing.) Third, out of 193 UN member states, 147 have recognized the State of Palestine, which fully demonstrates that recognizing the State of Palestine is a just act that follows the international trend. France's action has triggered the UK and Canada to follow, and the domino effect has already begun.
