According to various sources who spoke to the press, the French president declared this Tuesday in the Council of Ministers that Israel had been “created by a UN decision.”
Emmanuel Macron on Thursday accused some of his ministers of lacking professionalism and circulating false information, and attacked the press for the way comments he allegedly made about Israel during a council of ministers have been reported.
The head of state, visibly angry, reprimanded journalists after comments reported in the press regarding the creation of the State of Israel.
“I must tell you how amazed I was to read so many comments, comments of comments, reactions – including from foreign or French political leaders – to comments that I would have made, without asking the question of knowing what they said and what exactly I would have said,” Emmanuel Macron said during a press conference organized after a meeting of the European Council in Brussels.
“There is therefore no ambiguity. All those who would like to make it exist through this type of manipulation are not only wrong, but hurt some and weaken France,” he said.
“The existence and security of Israel are intangible for France and the French”
“France has always stood alongside Israel. The existence and security of Israel are intangible for France and the French.”
According to various sources who spoke to the press, the French president declared this Tuesday in the council of ministers that Israel had been “created by a decision of the United Nations”, inviting the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to not forget it.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s office then declared in a statement that the State of Israel had been established thanks to “the War of Independence, with the blood of our heroic fighters, most of whom were survivors of the Holocaust, notably of the Vichy regime in France.
“No need to hold press conferences anymore”
“All of this is proof, basically, of a disintegration of public debate and a lack of professionalism on the part of ministers who repeated distorted comments, journalists who repeated them and commentators who did not dwell on the reality and the veracity of such remarks,” said Emmanuel Macron.
“If words that are reported, truncated and distorted, are included in quotation marks, there is no longer any point in holding press conferences or answering your questions, you will agree with me.”
