Macron Condemns Settler Violence and Gaza Situation
During his speech before the United Nations General Assembly, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Israeli violations and the violence of settlers in the West Bank. He considered that respecting the Palestinian people's right to exist is a fundamental condition for Israel's security. He also described the situation in the Gaza Strip as "a scene that shames us all," warning that ongoing violence undermines the prospects for peace. Macron emphasized that recognizing a Palestinian state and a two-state solution are guarantees of Israeli security, calling on the international community to take urgent action regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. He stressed that silence or complacency endangers the credibility of the international community. Netanyahu’s office responded to Macron’s remarks, describing them as "absurd," pointing to the killing of a French citizen settler near the Huwara settlement, and the head of the West Bank Settlements Council urged Macron to apologize, asserting that his words indirectly support Hamas.
