France’s reaction to the new positions of the UN special rapporteur is disgraceful
The French Foreign Ministry responded to the views of Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur in the occupied Palestinian territories, who described Hamas’ massacre on October 7 as a reaction to Israel’s oppression, calling it disgraceful.
Ms. Albanese released a statement on Saturday after French President Emmanuel Macron called the October 7 massacre the greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century, declaring that the killing of 1,200 Israelis on that day was a response to Israel’s oppression and injustice.
She wrote on the social network X, ‘The greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century, no Mr. Macron, the victims of October 7 were not killed because they were Jewish, but in response to Israel’s oppression. France and the international community did nothing to prevent it.’
