Speaking at a press conference in Singapore ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference, French President Emmanuel Macron said that recognising a Palestinian state was a moral duty as well as a political necessity. Macron called on European countries to harden their stance on Israel unless the humanitarian crisis in the ravaged Gaza Strip improved.
And is being accused of “waging a crusade” by the Israeli far right foreign minister. An accusation about which France’s European partners have ostensibly fuck all to say.
