Macron: Netanyahu Must Not Forget Israel Was Created by UN Decision

French President Emmanuel Macron said that the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “must not forget that his country was created by a decision of the UN,” amid increased tensions between the two after suggesting that stopping weapon exports to Israel was the only way to stop its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon.

His UN remarks are trending on the social media with images of both Macron and the angry Netanyahu.

“Mr Netanyahu must not forget that his country was created by a decision of the UN,” Macron told the weekly French cabinet meeting, referring to the resolution adopted in November 1947 by the United Nations General Assembly on the plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state according to an AFP report.

Images of Macron shows he is visibly upset with Netanyahu, stating there should be an arms embargo on Israel to stop the war on Gaza and that Israeli ground troops must not be sent into Lebanon.

Also, Macron is displeased with the Israeli fire on the 10,000 UNIFIL troops stationed in Lebanon, 700 of which are from France.
