Macron Throws Shade, Recognizes PalestineâWorld Goes 'Wait, What?'
In a UNGA moment that felt like diplomatic Twitter beef, French President Emmanuel Macron dropped the mic announcing France now officially recognizes the State of Palestineâflexing on Netanyahu and Trump's Israeli bromance. Team Macron, joined by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and a cosplay squad of a dozen countries, waved the two-state solution flag amid 140+ global spectators (minus Israel and the US, who ghosted like bad first dates). Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stayed home, thanks to a revoked US visaâplot twist courtesy of Uncle Sam's hospitality standardsâsending a video pleading for peace, hostage releases, and disarming Hamas like itâs group therapy. Macron's speech wasnât just a PSA; it threatened to unspool the Abraham and Camp David Accords faster than you can say 'diplomatic mess.' His prescription? A UN-backed security force to confiscate Hamas' toys and run Gaza until they surrender their blockbuster weapons collection to the Palestinian Authority.
