Macron criticises Trump’s Gaza diplomacy

# French President Emmanuel Macron has criticised US President Donald Trump’s claims of securing peace in Gaza, saying the situation remains a “spectacle” that should shame the world. Speaking at the United Nations, Macron said not a single humanitarian corridor had reopened in Gaza despite Trump’s declaration of peace. Trump earlier told the General Assembly his Gaza peace plan was a diplomatic triumph. Macron also warned continued violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank was undermining the prospects of Palestinian statehood. It was Macron’s final UN address before leaving office.
