Today in The World Watches, we focus on the widening diplomatic split over Palestine. Western allies have formally recognized a Palestinian state—France among them—bringing recognitions past 145 UN members, while the U.S. holds out. On the ground, tensions surge: a Houthi drone slammed into Eilat, wounding around two dozen, as Israel’s Operation Gideon’s Chariots II tightens around Gaza City and the Allenby crossing stays shut. This leads because it reframes alliances and legal baselines at the UN. By human impact, the largest weight is in Gaza’s displacement and casualty toll—and in Sudan’s spiraling cholera epidemic, which barely registers in today’s headlines.
