Hamas launched an attack on October 7, 2023 against Israel. Many Israelis lost their lives following the attack by the Palestinian terrorist organization, angering the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who decided to respond immediately. For several days, the Gaza Strip, located in Palestine, has been besieged and bombarded by the Israeli army. The conflict has been going on for several years, and the recent attack by the terrorist movement has only made the situation worse.
But in the end, who are responsible for this situation? This is the question the world is asking itself, and the subject on which journalists and guest personalities debate on television sets. Edward Philippethe former Prime Minister of Emmanuel Macron, did not escape it on Saturday October 14, 2023

Edouard Philippe, not the best placed to discuss the conflict
“Is Benjamin Netanyahu responsible for what happened? That’s what many Israelis say. Many say it, even those on the right”launched the host beforeEdward Philippe
don’t crop it: “Before saying what I think, allow me to say that, commenting on the details of the Israeli political situation, when one is quietly installed in Paris, it seems easy to me to cast anathemas on such and such or so and so?”
Despite this clarification which could have suggested a non-taking of a position on the question, Edward Philippe made it a point to say that he does not feel “no sympathy for Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, none.” “But that doesn’t matter. My problem is not whether or not I have sympathy for him. I think that the democratic drift into which he has plunged his country, the extreme political tension that he has not only created, but also maintained by allying with extremists, I don’t know if he is an extremist himself, but he clearly chose, for political reasons, to ally himself with the hardest branch of Israeli political representation, continued the politician, very angry on the set. For Edward Philippethe fact that Benjamin Netanyahu acted in this way did not “properly served the interests of his country”.
