- Emmanuel Macron delivered his final speech at the UN, urging the world to 'stand firm' against the 'abuse of power by empires'
- Macron denounced Trump's Gaza diplomacy as a 'spectacle of shame' in his UN farewell address
- Netanyahu called 'grotesque' Macron's claim that Hamas 'never operated' in the West Bank
Why it matters: Macron's farewell speech positions France against both US Middle East policy and Israeli framing on Hamas. Netanyahu's swift rebuttal — branding a head-of-state's claim 'grotesque' — exposes the sharp transatlantic and Franco-Israeli divides that Macron's departing platform deliberately put on display.
