Middle East Macron's Bold Move: France to Recognise Palestinian State
Picture courtesy of The Times of Israel In a groundbreaking announcement, French President Emmanuel Macron declared that France will officially recognise a Palestinian state in September. The formal declaration is set to take place during the UN General Assembly session in New York. Macron's statement on X emphasised the need to restore peace in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages. Macron's initiative has received a warm reception from Palestinian officials, with Deputy Hussein al-Sheikh expressing gratitude for France's backing of international law and Palestinian rights to self-determination. However, Israel's reaction was less favourable. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised the move, describing it as a reward for terrorism following the recent Hamas attacks in Israel. IIn his detailed post, President Macron reaffirmed France's longstanding commitment to peace in the Middle East. He emphasised the necessity to demilitarise Hamas and rebuild Gaza, alongside recognising Israel. Macron stressed the importance of establishing a viable Palestinian state that aligns with Middle Eastern security. While Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received a confirmation letter from Macron, Israeli leaders voiced strong opposition. Netanyahu expressed concerns that recognising a Palestinian state in current conditions could endanger Israel, arguing that Palestinians aim for a state instead of coexisting with Israel. The international community has long been divided on the recognition of Palestine. Over 140 of the 193 UN member states recognise the State of Palestine, including several European Union countries such as Spain. However, major players such as the US and the UK have yet to do so. The announcement comes against a backdrop of heightened tensions in Gaza. Following the October 7 Hamas attack that resulted in over 1,200 Israeli casualties and multiple hostages, Israel launched a counter-campaign. Gaza's health ministry reports over 59,106 deaths since the conflict escalated, alongside devastating damage to infrastructure. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening. Unrwa, the UN's Palestinian refugee agency, reports that one in five children in Gaza City is malnourished, with conditions deteriorating daily. Over 100 international aid and human rights organisations have issued warnings of impending mass starvation, urging global intervention. Despite the dire situation, Israel continues to control the supply entries into Gaza. They argue that Hamas's actions are responsible for the humanitarian issues and deny any orchestrated siege. In the UK, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the dire humanitarian conditions, describing them as "unspeakable and indefensible." As the situation unfolds, President Macron's bold diplomatic step has stirred international debate. The recognition of Palestine by France could influence the Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape and impact ongoing peace negotiations. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-07-25 -

Cardiologist recommandation in Bangkok
Hi there I've searched the forum and found out two names, Dr.Koonlawee Nademanee og Dr.Visuit Vivekaphirat. It's for my wife.She has symptomatic PVC's - shortness of breath mostly.Something new, she was at Sukhumvit Hospital the other day. The reason, why I ask about these two cardiologists, is that I would like an second opinion, not because we doubt Sukhumvit Hospital doctor's assessment, but my wife told me they discussed treatment options and so on. When they talked about medicin, they agreed (as far as I understood from my wife), that she should try Flecainide.I said to her not to take it, until we have a new doctors opinion. From for short search on Dr.Google : this medicin is to be tried only after other medications have failed and, here in Denmark (I reside in Denmark), it normally requires admission, when to start on this medicin. I don't have too much experience with doctors in Thailand, but am I overreacting, if I say thai docs too often and too soon recommend (strong) medicin? I, myself, work in the health system (mental health) and I remember, when one not so closed family member of my wife, went to psychiatrist.From my opionion it was clear BPD (borderline personality disorder) and the poor girl was put on antipsychotics (not that this is unsual) and benzodiazepines, already from the first meeting, rather than emphasize on therapy - of course, this single episode does not mean that this is typical for thai doctors, but you get my point. So... I don't expect any different assessment from the initial one, done at Sukhumvit Hospital, but a new take on medicin - and need for it at this moment. And what fee should we expect for a consultation with one of these two doctors? If it is about few thousands THB, there is no issues - at least we get to talk with top cardiologists (as mentioned on aseannow), but if it will be around 10 k, then perhaps no need to spend money on something, we already know. I think they will perform new ECG..or can use that one from Sukhumvit.
