The President of the Republic spoke on Thursday, October 12, to discuss the situation in Israel and Gaza. If his speech was welcomed by the Socialist Party, La France insoumise deemed it “unacceptable” and complacent towards Israel.

From the start of his speech, Thursday October 12, Emmanuel Macron reiterated his support for the State of Israel, five days after the attack carried out by Hamas. This speech was welcomed in the evening by the Socialist Party (PS). “I found that the president had the right words to talk about the seriousness of the situation“, estimated Boris Vallaud, PS deputy.

“Unacceptable”, according to Manuel Bompard

The head of state also attacked, in barely veiled words, the position considered ambiguous by La France insoumise (LFI), which is counterattacking. “I find it unacceptable that the President of the Republic did not have a clear condemnation against the actions (of the Israeli army, editor’s note) against the Gaza Strip“, lamented Manuel Bompard, LFI deputy. The President of the Republic finally returned to the fate of the hostages, particularly French, held by Hamas. He assured that France would do everything possible to bring them back safely.
