LFI deputy Éric Coquerel appreciates Emmanuel Macron's initiative. In a telephone exchange with Benjamin Netanyahu, the French president asked the Israeli Prime Minister to “stop” the operas in Gaza.
In his enthusiasm, he expressed "France's firm opposition to an Israeli offensive in Rafah", the border town with Egypt where more than a million Palestinian civilians are crowded under bombs. This rant from the man who was the first Western leader to call for a cease-fire, who predicted for Israel "a ten-year war", weighs heavily minimum.
