French media's editorial focus culminated in the late afternoon with President Macron's announcement that France would recognize the State of Palestine in September, drawing strong condemnation from Israel. This diplomatic shift dominated evening headlines. Earlier, the day's significant domestic development was the reopening of the investigation into the suicide of Bertrand Cantat's ex-wife, Kristina Rady, probing potential voluntary violence, which gained prominence by mid-morning. International attention was also heavily drawn to the Russian passenger plane crash, confirmed with no survivors, which held editorial priority for much of the morning. Throughout the day, the worsening humanitarian crisis and famine in Gaza remained a persistent concern, while the challenging Alpine stages of the Tour de France garnered consistent domestic sports coverage.
