French President Emmanuel Macron made a bold call to halt deliveries of weapons to Israel for use in Gaza, emphasizing the need for an international arms embargo. However, the question remains – will this call be effective in influencing Israel’s behavior?
According to FRANCE 24’s International Affairs Editor Douglas Herbert, Macron’s message stands in stark contrast to the policy of the United States, but it is unlikely to have any significant impact on Israel’s actions in Gaza. Despite Macron’s plea for a halt in weapons sales, it seems that Israel is unlikely to change course based on this call alone.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, with no clear end in sight. Macron’s efforts to halt weapons deliveries may be a step in the right direction, but it is clear that more decisive action is needed to bring about lasting peace and stability in the region. As the situation in Gaza intensifies, the international community must come together to find a meaningful and effective solution to end the violence and suffering of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
