President Macron Halts French Weapons Exports to Israel

HeadlineOct 07, 2024

French President Emmanuel Macron says France is no longer sending arms to Israel and called on other nations to halt deliveries of weapons.

President Emmanuel Macron: “However, we also try to be consistent. And when we call for ceasefires — this is the case for Gaza, this was also the case for Lebanon last week — well, we try not to call for a ceasefire while continuing to deliver weapons of war. And I think it’s just consistency.”

Meanwhile, in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Vice President Kamala Harris defended U.S. military aid to Israel, which soared to a record $17.9 billion over the past year.
