Part 10/15:
The proposal from Hamas arrives during a time of heightened diplomatic activity, with the UN General Assembly debating Palestinian recognition and statehood. France's move to recognize Palestine, along with Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal’s recognition, have drawn Israel’s sharp condemnation. Israel views such moves as reward for terrorism and a diplomatic setback.
Trump is expected to address the UN later today, opposing Palestinian statehood recognition, and reinforcing US support for Israel. The ongoing conflict remains a complex mix of military offensive, diplomatic negotiations, and regional geopolitics.
