- 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.
