Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed
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 submitted 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.”
A diplomat in Paris explained that it was directed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which in turn sent it to the Elysee Palace.
