NewzIsraeli officials have formally denounced comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron during his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The Israeli government characterized Macron's remarks regarding the West Bank and the broader conflict as a "grotesque absurdity," expressing strong opposition to his characterization of Israeli military and political actions in the region.
Macron’s speech at the UN included criticism of Israeli operations in the West Bank and a broader condemnation of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which he described as a "spectacle that shames us all." The Israeli response specifically challenged Macron’s assertion regarding the presence of Hamas in the West Bank, an area currently governed by the Palestinian Authority.
