France, Canada, UK Push Palestinian Statehood at UN as Gaza Deaths Continue

At the UN General Assembly, French President Macron condemned the world's inaction over Gaza's suffering, while UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mike Carney backed a two-state solution, criticised Israel's West Bank settlement expansion, and Canada pledged $71m in Palestinian aid. The gathering came as Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians despite a US-brokered ceasefire, and follows a dozen nations recognising Palestinian statehood. This diplomatic pressure over land near Jerusalem reflects the ongoing international contest over territory central to biblical covenant promises concerning Israel.
