Marine Le Pen condemned the Israeli strike that attacked the Catholic Church of the Sagrada Familia in Gaza and killed two Palestinians, this Thursday, July 17. A speech against the extremely rare Israeli army for the attachment from afar.
The elected official argues that “Israeli incursions […] They are not acceptable. “Adding:” “In the legitimate struggle that Israel leads to the eradication of the Islamists of Hamas, the civilian population and Christian religious minorities must be protected in the light of international law.”
Another executive of the European extreme right, the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, deplored “unacceptable” acts, emphasizing that no “military action can justify such an attitude.”
Failed support
From the beginning of the Israeli attacks that followed on October 7, 2023, Marine Le Pen had taken the side of the almost total support to the Israeli government and its army.
Israel “does what it can in an extremely difficult situation,” he said on May 15 at the I24News microphone. Marine Le Pen also affirmed “Sharing the objective” of Israel, which is “eradicating Hamas”. Add: “We should not put Israel in the face of contradictory mandates.”
These statements take place in a context of the fight against “Islamist fundamentalism,” the elected official justified. Two days before, the President of the Republic had changed course for one of the first times, denouncing the action of the Benjamin Netanyahu government in Gaza.
“What the Benjamin Netanyahu government (in Gaza) is doing today is unacceptable,” he said in TF1, he added: “It’s a shame.”
A way to criticize “the left end”
Since then, the multiple candidate for presidential elections has continued to support the Israeli government. “Israel’s sanction would be unfair,” he said in the BFMTV microphone last May. “Hamas caused this war for a terrorist attack of incredible violence. He still has hostages. This conflict will end when they are released.”
This support is also transcribed in its opposition to the recognition of a Palestinian State and for attacks on “the far left.” “Recognizing a Palestinian state today would legitimize a terrorist organization responsible for October 7”.
Last March, Jordan Bardella went to Jerusalem, at the invitation of the Israeli government of the extreme right. First for a president of the National Rally, a sign of the approach between the Israeli party and the government.
