Turin, Sept. 23 (LaPresse) — “The grotesque absurdity of Emmanuel Macron’s statements is disconcerting.” This was the statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the remarks of the French president, who, in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, claimed that Hamas “has never been active” in the West Bank. “On Sunday, on the eve of Yom Kippur—just two days ago—Netanel Shukrun, a FRENCH CITIZEN and father of six, was murdered in his car by a Hamas terrorist in Judea and Samaria. With his last breath, he told his son to run away,” he added. “Hamas terrorists carry out attacks against Jews almost every day. They have killed countless Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria. Ignorance is NOT an excuse to whitewash their bloodshed.”
