Emmanuel Macron “will have to give account” before the “Court of History” for the inaction of French diplomacy against “disaster” in Gaza, he warned the former Prime Minister of Vilpan on Sunday, who “approves” the president’s initiative “to recognize the Palestinian State.
“Emmanuel Macron will have to realize as all European officials,” said Villepin on Radio J.
“Before the story, they will have to explain why they did not do everything, why they did not dare to take a certain number of steps when we know the scope of the disaster that takes place in Gaza”, where Israel leads a great offensive to destroy the Islamist movement Palestinian Hamas, continued the former prime minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jacques Chirac.
The “History Court”
For Dominique de Vilepin, who is preparing for the presidential elections of 2027 without officially announceding his candidacy, the Head of State will have to respond for his decisions “possibly before the International Justice.”
“But I believe more in the History Court,” he continued, while the military campaign led by Israel, in retaliation for unprecedented attacks in Hamas, on October 7, 2023, made tens of thousands of deaths and caused a humanitarian disaster. Half a million inhabitants fled from Gaza-Ville, where the Israeli army warned Friday that he was going to attack “unprecedented force.”
In this context, France, as well as dozen of other countries, is preparing before the UN on Monday to formally recognize the Palestinian state, an “initiative” of Emmanuel Macron that Mr. Vilepin “approves.”
“We recognize, the French, a principle of law and a principle of justice. Some say it is purely symbolic. No. No, it is not purely symbolic,” he greeted.
“Ethnic Cleaning”
For the containers of this election, such as the national rally that believes that this recognition is equivalent to granting a victory in Hamas, Mr. Villepin makes fun of “a sin against the mind.” Because “Hamas, from the beginning, has played against the political solution,” he argues.
But “there is much to fear that in the United Nations Tax Tomorrow (Monday, Editor’s note), it is not so much what the President of the Republic will say that will be retained”, but what he “has not done in recent months, as well as Europeans. That is, put his weight to put an end to the humanitarian tragedy in the gaza”, crumbled by Mr. Villapin.
“We are witnessing an ethnic cleaning today, the crimes committed daily by this government and France do not do everything it should,” he insisted.
