In UN farewell, Macron denounces Trump's Gaza diplomacy as spectacle of shame
- On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron dismissed President Donald Trump's claims of Gaza peace as a "spectacle that shames us all," noting that not a single humanitarian corridor had reopened despite the proclamation.
- Macron used his final United Nations General Assembly address to denounce daily violations in the West Bank, asserting that Hamas has never operated in the region while targeting 47 Israeli outposts.
- Warning against a "return to the law of the jungle," Macron urged global leaders to reject a "new order of impunity" while calling for a moratorium on strikes against civilian and energy targets.
- Israeli officials sharply rebuked the address, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling the statements "outrageous" and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich accusing Macron of "lying" regarding security threats.
- Preparing for his departure next May, Macron advocated for structural reform of the United Nations Security Council, arguing the body must open to new members to remain effective and representative.
