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.
