Recently, Paris, represented by President Emmanuel Macron, recognized Palestine at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Of course, It is not the first country to do so, but France is one of the members of the G7, the group of seven powerful nations that meet to create cooperation and dialogue to solve global problems.
This French decision is both practical and symbolic. According to the French president, it could be the first step to solve the conflict and maybe the beginning of peace between Palestine and Israel.
But is it really so?
However, other G7 countries, like the USA and Italy, have a different view. They are ready to recognize Palestine as an independent state, but only after peace has been achieved between Israel and Palestine. They think recognizing Palestine now could make peace harder to reach.
