The former Mayor of Shiloh discusses the recent comments, and why Macron has it so wrong.
Right when the Israel/Hamas conflict is about to reach its one-year point, many leaders are convinced they have the right answer to stopping it. Such as Emmanuel Macron, president of France, who thinks that the right thing to do is take weapons away from Israel.
During a recent interview, Macron noted, “I think that today, the priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop supplying weapons to lead the fighting in Gaza.” He also noted that France is not taking any part in the supply, and that “a resentment is being born, a hatred that is being fueled by this.”
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a sharp response for Macron. “As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side.
“Yet, President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them.”
Joining us now to discuss this further is David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and Founder of the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund. Welcome, Mayor Rubin.
