Netanyahu accuses France’s Macron of supporting terrorism after Gaza comments

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accused French President Emmanuel Macron of siding with a “murderous terrorist organization” after Macron criticised Israel’s blocking of aid to Gaza.

“Macron has once again chosen to stand with a murderous terrorist organization and echo its despicable propaganda, accusing Israel of blood libels,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said, after Macron on Tuesday accused the Israeli premier of “unacceptable” and “shameful” behavior in a televised interview.
