President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that France will recognize a Palestinian state this September is not diplomacy — it is a reward for terror.

Stop peddling fantasies from the Quai d’Orsay: a “two‑state” miracle will not spring from champagne toasts while hatred is still subsidised, sanctified and celebrated in Ramallah and Gaza.

There was a time when I believed in Emmanuel Macron. Not passively — passionately.

Imagine a heartbreaking photograph—a child motionless among the ruins, a haunting image swiftly shared by millions, igniting global outrage and condemnation of Israel. 

It’s official: *France has capitulated.* Not just ideologically — but judicially, morally, and strategically.

Qatar is often described in Western capitals as a "moderate Gulf state"—a wealthy partner in diplomacy, energy, and regional stability. 

The international push to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state is gaining momentum—and with it, the illusion that doing so will bring peace. 

On June 25, the Democratic voters of New York City—home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel—chose a mayoral candidate who has called for the dismantling of the Jewish state.

Let me be blunt: I feel sick. Watching Dominique de Villepin—the so-called “favorite politician of France”—still enjoy public esteem is nothing short of a national disgrace. 

Once the cradle of the enlightenment, of Diderot, Voltaire, and Simone Veil, it now tiptoes through a moral fog. 

Last night, history turned. In a joint triumph of intelligence and military precision, the United States struck and destroyed all three of Iran’s core nuclear sites—obliterating what remained of Tehran’s atomic ambitions. 

In a dramatic and unmistakable shift, Israeli leadership has drawn a new red line — not around nuclear sites or proxy militias, but around the very heart of the Iranian regime.
