Macron Criticizes Ministers Amid Rising Tensions Over Israel Remarks

The French President rebukes his ministers and journalists for misrepresenting his comments on Israel, as Netanyahu hails a military victory in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron has condemned what he perceives as a lack of professionalism among ministers and journalists after his comments on the creation of Israel were criticized.
Macron's remarks reportedly suggested that Israel should not disregard UN decisions, leading to backlash from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and French political figures.
Netanyahu announced the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinouar, calling it 'the beginning of the end' of the conflict in Gaza, while Macron described it as a turning point.
Amid these developments, Joe Biden is meeting with European leaders in Berlin to discuss a potential ceasefire in Gaza.
The Iranian government has stated that Sinouar's death will bolster resistance efforts, while Hezbollah has escalated its military actions against Israel.
