France set to recognise Palestine at UN summit

France is set to recognise a Palestinian state on Monday at the UN, following the UK, Canada, Australia, and Portugal. Macron said recognition is not conditional on hostage releases, though freedom is required before opening a Palestinian embassy. The move aims to revive the two-state solution, drawing criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, while several other European countries are expected to follow.
