Near East: Éric Coquerel denounces “the total inversion” of the discourse on the self-defense of Israel
Guest of the public channel Senate, the deputy LFI of Seine-Saint-Denis Éric Coquerel denounced “the total inversion” of the speech on the war in the Middle East, believing that Israel “claims to be self-defense while freely striking Lebanon and Syria”. “As it acts, the Israeli government exempts international law,” he castigated, recalling that missiles still fall on Israeli territory and that “this does not ensure the security of the Israeli people, or that of the region”. Faced with a possible conflagration, the elected official insists: “France should urgently summon the UN Security Council to demand a cease-fire. »»
Eric Coquerel is also concerned about the position of the French executive: Emmanuel Macron has not excluded, according to him, a military involvement of Paris. “Talking about the defense of Israel as he leads offensives is to take a word for word the elements of language of Tel Aviv,” he accuses. Convicing both the Iranian regime and an Israeli cabinet which he describes as “genocidal”, the deputy judges “stunning” to see the Hebrew state claim the right to target Iranian leaders. “It has to stop; France must be placed on the side of peace, ”he concludes.
