Israel Accuses Macron of Attempting to Intervene in Gaza Conflict

Israel has criticized Emmanuel Macron for calling on Palestinian officials to be granted visas. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Jewish state stated that the French President is attempting to intervene in a conflict in which he is not a participant.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar responded to the statement made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who condemned the U.S. decision to deny visas to Palestinian officials. The head of Israel's Foreign Ministry emphasized that the French leader genuinely desires for Palestinian officials to receive American visas, but he overlooks the broader context.

Earlier, Macron had criticized the U.S. decision to refuse visas to Palestinian officials planning to attend events at the United Nations. It is worth noting that the 80th session of the UN General Assembly is set to open in New York next week.
