Netanyahu accuses Macron of siding with Hamas

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized French President Emmanuel Macron accusing him of aligning with Hamas and echoing its “false propaganda” following Macron’s remarks condemning 'Israel’s' genocide in Gaza.

According to his post on X, Netanyahu responded after Macron, in a TF1 television interview on May 13, 2025, described 'Israel’s' policy in Gaza as “shameful,” calling out the humanitarian toll and civilian casualties caused by the aid blockade.

Netanyahu accused Macron of “once again choosing to stand alongside a murderous Islamist terrorist organization” and “accusing Israel of blood libels,”.

In a pointed statement, Netanyahu emphasized 'Israel’s' resolve, saying, “Israel is waging a multi-pronged struggle for its existence. Instead of supporting the Western democratic camp that is fighting Islamist terrorist organizations and calling for the release of the hostages, Macron is demanding that Israel surrender and reward terrorism. Israel will not stop or surrender.” He added that he is “determined to complete all of Israel’s war goals: the release of all our hostages, the military and governmental defeat of Hamas, and a promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”

לשכת ראש הממשלה:

מקרון שוב בחר לעמוד לצד ארגון טרור אסלאמיסטי רצחני ולהדהד את התעמולה השקרית שלו, תוך האשמת ישראל בעלילות דם.

ישראל מנהלת מאבק רב-זירתי על קיומה בעקבות הטבח המחריד שביצע חמאס נגד חפים מפשע בשבעה באוקטובר, כולל רצח וחטיפת עשרות בעלי אזרחות צרפתית.
במקום לתמוך…
