Le Monde: French minister visits Iraq to discuss two-state solution in Palestinian-Israeli conflict
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot is in Baghdad to promote a two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict ahead of an international conference in June. His tour includes meetings with Iraqi officials and aims to reaffirm France's commitment to regional stability and the fight against ISIS.
Barrot's visit also highlights Iraq's longstanding recognition of a Palestinian state, while the country has yet to recognize Israel. France plans to bolster military partnerships in Iraq as the coalition's mission transitions, emphasizing Iraq's capability to combat remaining jihadist threats.
Le Monde: 40 years of France hesitating to recognize a Palestinian state
French President Emmanuel Macron has reignited the debate on recognizing Palestine as a state, a topic that has persisted in French politics for nearly 40 years. His potential announcement may come in June during a UN conference he will co-chair with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Historically, previous French presidents have made similar promises regarding Palestinian statehood without follow-through. The issue intertwines both foreign policy and domestic political considerations in France, dating back to Yasser Arafat's 1988 proclamation of a Palestinian state.

GB News: Church of England MOVES St George's Day in bid to maintain age-old tradition
The Church of England has moved St George's Day from April 23 to April 28 this year to adhere to traditional ecclesiastical rules, which prohibit saint's days from occurring during the week surrounding Easter. This change affects celebrations nationwide and has caused confusion in the past.
The last time St George's Day was shifted was in 2019, leading to political missteps, including early celebratory messages from prominent figures. St George is the Patron Saint of England, and various events, including Morris Dancing, are held in his honor, with Nottingham displaying a large St George's flag.
