Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit out at French President Emmanuel Macron’s call for an arms embargo against Tel Aviv, stressing on Sunday that "Israel will win with or without their support."
"I have a message for President Macron. Today, Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization," said Netanyahu, explaining that Israel is fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen and 'Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria’.
"We are fighting against Iran, which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel and which stands behind this seven-front war against Israel," he added.
The PM insisted that all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side, saying "President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them."
Speaking at the 19th Francophonie Summit, on Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron said the 88 participants collectively called for an "immediate" ceasefire in Lebanon, adding that the group has arranged a conference in solidarity with Lebanon that will be held later in the month.
The IDF announced the launch of ‘Operation Northern Arrows’ on Monday, September 23 with the stated aim of allowing tens of thousands of residents of northern Israel to return to their homes.
Israel began a 'limited and targeted' ground incursion into Lebanon on Tuesday, after over a week of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. More than 1,200 were reported killed and over 7,000 injured in those strikes at the time of publication, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Last Friday, an Israeli attack on Beirut's southern suburb killed Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and others. Iran launched a wave of missiles on Tuesday, which it said was in response to Israeli assassinations and attacks on its allies.
Tensions in southern Lebanon first escalated in mid-September after mass explosions of pagers and handheld radios belonging to Hezbollah. The group has exchanged cross-border fire with Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023.
