It is rare for a rebel to welcome an initiative from Emmanuel Macron.
However, this is what LFI deputy Éric Coquerel has just done, appreciating in a message on
“So much the better,” he says.
In question, a telephone call, this Wednesday, February 14, between the Head of State and the Israeli Prime Minister, during which the first ordered the second to “cease” military operations in Gaza, where the human toll, thundered Emmanuel Macron, is “intolerable”.
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.
Certainly, Emmanuel Macron could have done without the anointing of a party leader refusing to qualify the Islamist movement responsible for the October 7 attack as terrorist.
Certainly Netanyahu, who is hardly impressionable and follows his compass, is not going to stop his war immediately.
Nor tomorrow.
It prevents.
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" with the illusory objective of "total destruction of Hamas", weighs heavily minimum.
