The Elysee described what Netanyahu said about France Exaggerated and excessive, he also reaffirmed that France is the unwavering friend of Israel.
In the midst of this, analysts believe that expanding the circle of conflict in the region may change the diplomatic paths of Western countries and push them to take positions different from what they witnessed in the past period.
In this context, academic and political researcher Jean-Pierre Melali said:
- There is no doubt that Macron thought for a long time before uttering those words because they were said two days before the anniversary of the October 7 massacres.
- We can put these words in the context of the competition between him and his prime minister.
- There is a moral problem. Israel does not respect civilians and is very brutal in its treatment of them.
- Why does Israel bomb popular neighborhoods when it knows that Hezbollah and Hamas members are hiding among civilians?
- There is an ideological problem because Netanyahu He boarded the boat of Jewish religious extremism while wanting to please his partners in power and not caring about the opinion of a country like France.
- Netanyahu carries an ideology that is no different from the ideology of Hamas and Hezbollah.
- Macron’s statements are directed at the United States, but we know that this superpower is busy in the election campaign.
- Macron’s statements are also directed at French public opinion.
- Israel always asks for solidarity and does not listen to advice.
- France is going through a difficult diplomatic process on unstable ground in… Lebanon.
- The recent meeting between the Iranian Foreign Minister and Najib Mikati is evidence of Iran’s adherence to its position in Lebanon.
- Lebanon finds itself between the Israeli hammer and the Iranian anvil.
- It is trite to limit the French role to the interests of Total companies. France has a long history of defending principles and it spends more in Lebanon than it profits.
For his part, former diplomat Meir Cohen said:
- Israel is exposed to a war of annihilation on 7 fronts, and Iran is behind it.
- What would have happened if France had been subjected to a bombing similar to the one it is being subjected to? Israel.
- The Palestinian people are victims of Hamas, which involved them in the war.
- Why didn’t Macron call for a ceasefire on October 8 when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel?
- The reason is related to the economy. France is concerned with what is happening in Beirut, especially the issue of gas extraction.
- There is an anti-Israel wave in Europe and the United States, but this does not mean that we will agree to a word that Europe says.
- Macron wants Hezbollah to continue to remain in power.
- A ceasefire means the party will regain its strength.
- The blow received by the axis Iran It gives the international community an opportunity to change, and France turns a blind eye to this Israeli role.
- The arms embargo has been in place since the start of the war, and these weapons that Israel buys from France are a drop in the ocean.
- What Israel receives from France are devices related to Iron Dome.
