France to Recognize Palestinian State, Angering Israel and US

France's President Macron said his country will recognize Palestine as a state at the UN in September.

This means France would consider Palestine a country.

This move aims to help make peace between Palestine and Israel.

Israel's leader, Netanyahu, disagrees, saying it could encourage violence.

The United States also does not support this.

Macron hopes this announcement will encourage other countries to take the same step and give momentum for peace in the Middle East.
