Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised French President Emmanuel Macron over his call to halt arms deliveries to Israel for use in Gaza.
Macron told France Inter radio that "the priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to fight in Gaza".
Netanyahu responded: "Shame on them," referring to Macron and other Western leaders who have called for what he described as an arms embargo on Israel.
The Elysee Palace considers the reaction of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the proposal of French President Emmanuel Macron to stop the supply of weapons that could be used in the fighting in the Gaza Strip to be too harsh, AFP reported, citing the Elysee Palace.
"Excessive words that do not correspond to the friendship between France and Israel," the agency quotes a statement from a representative of the Elysee Palace. Macron's administration assured that France continues to be "a steadfast friend of Israel."
