The mounting cost of war on both Palestinians and Israel
France has joined several of its European peers in formally recognising a Palestinian state. At a world summit in New York on Monday, President Emmanuel Macron called on the world to do everything it could to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution and outlined a framework for a "renewed Palestinian Authority". Nearly two years since it began, the war in Gaza has devastated the livelihoods of Palestinians but also dealt a serious blow to Israel's economy.
