French President Emmanuel Macron has responded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of France’s response to the escalating conflict in Gaza. Macron denied that France was “murderous” in its approach, as Netanyahu had claimed. The two leaders have been engaged in a heated exchange over the past few days, with both sides taking aim at each other’s policies and actions.
The dispute began when Netanyahu criticized France for not doing enough to stop Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel. Macron responded by saying that France was committed to finding a peaceful solution to the conflict, but that it would not be swayed by pressure from Israel or any other country.
