The words of Emmanuel Macron on Israel, made as part of the Great TF1 program on Tuesday, did not leave Marble Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu this Wednesday.
The words ofEmmanuel Macron do not pass. The Israeli Prime Minister did not hide his anger this Wednesday, May 14, the day after the TF1 program during which the French president notably returned to the fate of the Gaza Strip. Asked about the use of the qualifier of “genocide”, Emmanuel Macron estimated Tuesday that “it is not a political official to employ these terms, it is to historians when the time comes”. However, the tenant of the Élysée did not fail to evoke “an unacceptable humanitarian drama”, still accusing: “what the government of Benyamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable” and “a shame”. “My job is to do everything to make it stop. […] We must raise the pressure on the sanctions “against Israel, also added the head of state.
For Benyamin Netanyahu, it didn’t take more. Emmanuel “Macron has again chosen to line up on the side of a deadly Islamist terrorist organization and to relay its vile propaganda, accusing Israel of ritual crimes,” the Israeli Prime Minister said in a statement. “Instead of supporting the Western Democratic Camp which fights Islamist terrorist organizations and calls for the release of hostages, Macron demands once again that Israel goes and rewards terrorism,” he said, as Le Figaro.
“President Macron has no moral lessons to give us”
Emmanuel Macron has “no moral lessons to give us,” added Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, in another press release. “We remember very well what happened to the Jews in France when they could not defend themselves,” he said, insisting that the Israeli army “acts with unequaled morality in difficult and complex circumstances-much more than France has done in its own wars in the past”.
Let us recall, however, that after a two -month truce, Israel has resumed its military offensive in the Gaza Strip since March 18, with the displayed objective of freeing all the hostages, but above all to defeat Hamas. In parallel, the Hebrew state also prevents humanitarian aid since March 2, however vital for approximately 2.4 million Gazaouis, from entering the Palestinian enclave, further aggravating the health situation on site.
