Turin, May 30 (LaPresse) – Israel accuses French President Emmanuel Macron of leading "a crusade against the Jewish state." From Singapore, Macron had urged Europeans to "harden their collective stance" against Israel "if there is no proportionate response to the humanitarian situation that will be addressed in the coming hours and days" in the Gaza Strip.
"The facts do not interest Macron. There is no humanitarian blockade. This is a blatant lie," the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on X, defending its efforts to allow aid to reach the Palestinian territory.
"But instead of pressuring the jihadist terrorists, Macron wants to reward them by giving them a Palestinian state. There is no doubt that his national holiday will be October 7," it added.
"And it is against Israel — under attack on multiple fronts in an attempt to destroy it — that Macron seeks to impose sanctions. Hamas, for its part, has already praised Macron’s statements. Hamas knows why," it further stated.
