Tension between Iran and Israel is continuously increasing. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 'all member states' should stand firmly with Israel as it fights 'barbaric forces' led by Iran. He described French President Emmanuel Macron's call for an arms embargo on Israel as shameful.
Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video message on Saturday calling it shameful and said that the axis of terror is standing together but the countries which are allegedly opposing this axis of terror are demanding an arms embargo on Israel. .
Now immediately after this statement by Netanyahu, Macron has been lashed out and Macron's office has issued a statement making it clear that France is a staunch friend of Israel and we support Israel's security. He also said that if Iran or its supporters attack Israel, France will always stand with Israel.
Netanyahu got angry and said – he should be ashamed
Netanyahu said that all member states should stand firmly with Israel as it fights the barbaric powers led by Iran. Yet French President Macron and many other Western leaders are now calling for an arms embargo on Israel. Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas and their other allies? Absolutely not. The axis of terror is standing together but the countries which are allegedly opposing this axis of terror are demanding an arms embargo on Israel. This is such a shame.
Netanyahu further said in his message that Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization. We are fighting Hamas in Gaza, fighting the barbarians who killed, raped and beheaded and burned our people on October 7. We are fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon, the most heavily armed terrorist organization in the world. Who was planning a large-scale massacre on our northern border since October 7. Rockets have been fired on Israeli cities for almost a year. We are fighting the Houthis in Yemen and Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, who together have launched hundreds of drone and missile attacks against Israel. We are fighting terrorists in Judea and Samaria who are trying to kill civilians in the midst of our cities. And we are fighting against Iran, which last week fired more than 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel, and which is behind a seven-front war against Israel.
Netanyahu said that Israel will win this battle with or without the help of these Western countries. Israel will not stop until it wins this battle. I want to tell you that Israel will win without your help, but their shameful behavior will continue long after they win the war. Israel is protecting civilizations to protect itself from this barbarity. It is fighting against those who want to impose a dark age of fanaticism on all of us. It is certain that Israel will continue to fight for all of us and for the peace and security of the entire world until the war is won.
Macron immediately clarified
After the departure of the Israeli PM, Macron's office issued a statement making it clear that France is a staunch friend of Israel and we support Israel's security. He also said that if Iran or its supporters attack Israel, France will always stand with Israel.
What did France say?
In fact, French President Macron had asked Israel to stop the sale of weapons used in Gaza. Macron said that our priority is to prevent tension from escalating. I think the priority today should be to find a political solution and to stop the sale of weapons used to fight in Gaza. France does not send any weapons. Lebanon could become another Gaza.
