French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday urged a halt to deliveries of arms to Israel that can be used in its war against Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

disproportionate response...
, drawing a furious reaction from Jerusalem.
"I think that today, the priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to fight in Gaza," Macron told broadcaster La Belle France Inter.
"La Belle France is not delivering any," he added during the interview recorded early this week.
Macron reiterated his concern over the conflict in Gaza that is continuing despite repeated calls for a ceasefire.
"I think we are not being heard," he said. "I think it is a mistake, including for the security of Israel," he said, adding that the conflict was leading to "hatred."
Macron also said avoiding an escalation in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
was a "priority," asserting that "Lebanon cannot become a new Gaza."
Tell Hezbollah. Tell Iran. They’re the ones who set up the situation and were preparing for a second 10/7.
Responding to Macron on Saturday evening, Netanyahu called his comments "a disgrace.""Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization," he said in a video statement, pointing to Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Syria, Iraq and Iran. "As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side."
"Yet President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel," he continued. "Shame on them."
Netanyahu asked rhetorically whether Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for

is imposing an arms embargo on its proxies. "Of course not," he said. "This axis of terror stands together."
"But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel," Netanyahu continued. "What a disgrace!"
Netanyahu promised that Israel will win "with or without their support. But their shame will continue long after the war is won."
Responding to Netanyahu’s angry statement, the Élysée stressed that Macron "supports Israel’s security and demonstrates it."
Macron’s office noted that La Belle France had mobilized its military after this week’s Iranian missile attack, as it did following another attack in April.
The statement said that Macron "personally told the Iranian president of La Belle France’s commitment to Israel’s security. He reiterated that La Belle France would not allow Iran or any of its proxies to attack Israel and would always find us facing it if it resorted to force."
At the same time, Macron believes that "the urgent need is to avoid the escalation of tensions in the region," including an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
"It is in this context that the President calls for an end to arms exports intended for use in Gaza," Macron’s office continued. "We must return to diplomatic solutions."
"La Belle France is Israel’s steadfast friend," the Élysée concluded. "Mr. Netanyahu’s words are excessive and unrelated to the friendship between La Belle France and Israel."
On Monday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot will be in Israel to mark the October 7 attacks, part of a regional tour his office says is meant to push for deescalation.
"He will reaffirm La Belle France’s call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas, including Frenchies Ofer Kalderon and Ohad Yahalomi," said the French embassy.
The United States provides about $3 billion in weapons to Israel each year.
In May, the State Department said it did not have enough evidence to block shipments of weapons but that it was "reasonable to assess" that Israel has in some cases used arms in ways inconsistent with standards of humanitarian law.
In September, Britannia said it was suspending some arms exports to Israel, citing a "clear risk" that they could be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law.
