Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, sharply criticized French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, calling his recent statement that "Hamas has never been active in Judea and Samaria" a "disgrace."
Speaking on Channel 14's morning program, Danon stated that Macron "knows the facts, yet still clings to his theory and tries to be relevant." Danon's remarks followed a similar strong condemnation from the Prime Minister's Office, which referenced the murder of Natanel Shkaron, a French citizen and father of six, in a terrorist attack in the Benjamin region.
The Prime Minister's Office declared, "Ignorance is no excuse for erasing blood." Macron's comments were made on the UN stage, prompting the strong Israeli reaction.
