Part 4/6:
Currently, French President Emmanuel Macron is set to make a formal announcement at the United Nations in September, where he plans to join 147 other nations in recognizing Palestinian statehood. Macron's position indicates a significant diplomatic move that could influence global recognition processes.
However, the Australian Prime Minister has clarified that Australia will not follow suit immediately. The government maintains that the decision to recognize a Palestinian state is complex and should be made as part of Australia's sovereign foreign policy, taking into account the ongoing peace process.
