Meet Netanyahu: “We need an anti-Hamas alliance”
British media “Buddha’s concerns will soon be faced by all of Europe”
French President Emmanuel Macron (pictured) visited Israel only two weeks after the airstrike by the Palestinian armed group Hamas.
President Macron met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Israel, on the 24th and announced the need for an international cooperative body to fight Hamas. According to Reuters, President Macron said at a joint press conference after the meeting, “The coalition against the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) can be expanded to include the fight against Hamas.” He then said, “Stability in the Middle East is possible when Israel also allows a political approach to the Palestinian issue,” and suggested a “two-state solution.” President Macron will also meet with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority announced.
Unlike German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, British Prime Minister Risi Sunnack, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who visited Israel early and expressed support, some say that President Macron’s visit here late was due to concerns that his visit would encourage division in French society. . The British weekly The Spectator reported on the 23rd, “He said at the Paris debate on the 19th, ‘If this situation is mismanaged, there will be division (inside France).’” He then pointed out, “His problem is a problem that all of Europe will soon face.”
Leaders of major European countries with many Muslim immigrants also faced similar concerns. The Israeli daily Haaretz said on the 23rd, “Western leaders have political differences with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but they recognize that Israel belongs to the same geopolitical bloc,” and added, “We believe that if Israel does not win the Middle East war, it will be detrimental to the West.” He said.
