UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?

Parliament may have shut up shop for a six-week summer break, but MPs and the French president are turning up the heat on Sir Keir Starmer over the Middle East. Sky News
U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron over his announcement to recognize Palestine this September. Trump dismissed Macron’s move as irrelevant, calling him a “lightweight” and insisting his statement “doesn’t carry weight.” Breaking with much of the West, Trump doubled down on his support for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. As Macron urges an urgent end to the Gaza war, Trump’s comments highlight a growing rift between Western leaders over the path to Middle East peace.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly, a move that has ignited fierce backlash from the United States and Israel. As Macron pushes for an urgent end to the war in Gaza and calls for peace, Hamas praises France’s decision as a “positive step” and urges other nations to follow suit. Meanwhile, Israel threatens to annex the West Bank, condemning France’s shift as a direct aid to terrorism. This bold stance by Europe’s most powerful nation marks a dramatic escalation in the international conflict surrounding Gaza, with global pressure mounting amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Stay tuned for full coverage of the fallout from this historic diplomatic move.

In a fiery appearance at the AI Summit in Washington, Donald Trump signed a sweeping set of executive orders targeting what he called “woke Marxist lunacy” embedded in artificial intelligence. Trump vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from all federally supported AI development and accused the Biden administration of poisoning tech innovation with "toxic ideology."
The executive orders fast-track data center construction by gutting environmental protections, eliminate DEI from procurement guidelines, and demand that federal AI models reflect "truth, fairness, and strict impartiality." Trump’s message was clear: America must lead the world in AI—and without the politics of the left.
Is this the beginning of an AI revolution—or a rollback of rights?
