France formally recognizes Palestinian state despite US pressure
11. Mindset or Paradigm
France’s recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state disrupts the prevailing paradigm that treats Palestinian statehood as negotiable, encouraging other countries to reassess their narratives and policies. This mindset shift reorients the system’s overarching goal toward a concrete two-state solution, realigning negotiations, aid flows, alliances, and the feedback loops that perpetuate the conflict.

8. Rules of the system
