The French newspaper Le Figaro revealed that a number of French ambassadors to the Middle East sent a letter expressing their regret for President Emmanuel Macron’s bias towards Israel.
The French newspaper stated that “the memorandum by the French ambassadors criticizing Macron’s policy towards the Gaza war amounts to a diplomatic rebellion.”
The French ambassadors considered Macron’s bias towards Israel to constitute a break with Paris’s historical balanced position towards the Israelis and Palestinians.
Le Figaro explained, “The French ambassadors’ memorandum is an unprecedented step in France’s modern diplomatic history with the Arab world.”
She indicated that about 10 French ambassadors to the Middle East and some countries of the Maghreb collectively signed a memorandum expressing their regret over Macron’s fall into the Israeli camp during the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, according to the information collected by the newspaper.
A diplomat in Paris, who saw the memorandum, explained that it was directed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which in turn sent it to the Elysee Palace.
The source says the document could be viewed as a diplomatic rebellion.
The ambassadors affirm that “France’s position in support of Israel from the beginning is not accepted in the Middle East and is considered a break with our position, which is historically characterized by balance between Israelis and Palestinians.”
US Foreign Affairs disputes
In this context, CNN revealed that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken admitted, in an email to employees, on Monday, that there were differences within the State Department regarding the Joe Biden administration’s approach to the war between Israel and Hamas.
“I know that for many of you, the suffering caused by this crisis has a deeply personal impact,” Blinken wrote in his email. “The pain that accompanies seeing the daily images of infants, children, the elderly, women, and other civilians suffering in this crisis is painful. I feel it myself.” “.
