Macron criticizes Gaza crisis and warns of global 'law of the jungle' at UN FAST-MOVING
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, French President Emmanuel Macron criticized the international community's inaction regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, describing the situation as a 'shameful' spectacle. He argued that despite claims of peace, humanitarian aid corridors remain closed. Macron also warned against a global return to the 'law of the jungle,' where powerful actors ignore international law and sovereignty, advocating instead for a civilized international society and a strengthened UN.
Macron's remarks regarding the West Bank, where he stated Hamas has not been active, drew a sharp rebuke from the Israeli Prime Minister's office. The office described his comments as 'grotesque absurdity' and noted that Hamas terrorists carry out attacks against Israelis almost daily in the region. Additionally, Macron called for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as a priority for maritime navigation and proposed a moratorium on attacks against energy and political infrastructure in Ukraine.
In response to ongoing tensions, France has introduced national sanctions and bans on products originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Macron also emphasized the necessity of a two-state solution to ensure long-term security for both Palestinians and Israelis.
