On Saturday, October 5, French President Emmanuel Macron said France would no longer supply arms to Israel, although the country will continue to send missile defence equipment.
In response to France’s and other Western countries’ arms embargo on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, „Israel will fight until the battle is won – for our sake and for the sake of peace and security in the world,” promising that Israel will defend itself. Those who stand against it will be judged by history, reports the Israel National News.
Netanyahu to Macron: Israel will win with you or without you, your shame will reverberate long after

The Israeli prime minister stressed that the country has to defend itself on seven different fronts „against the enemies of civilisation.”
„We are fighting in Gaza against Hamas, the savages who murdered, raped, beheaded and burned our people on October 7.”
„We are fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the most heavily armed terror organisation in the world, which was planning an even greater massacre than October 7 on our Northern border, and that has rocketed Israeli towns and cities for nearly a year.
„We are fighting against the Houthis in Yemen and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, that together have launched hundreds of drones and missile attacks against Israel.”
„We are fighting against terrorists in Judea and Samaria, who are trying to murder civilians in the heart of our cities.”
„And we are fighting against Iran, which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel and which stands behind this seven-front war against Israel.”
Netanyahu continued, „As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilised countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side. Yet President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel.”
„Shame on them. Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies? Of course not. This axis of terror stands together. But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel. What a disgrace!”
He promised, „Israel will win with or without their support. But their shame will continue long after the war is won.”
„For in defending ourselves against this barbarism, Israel is defending civilisation against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism on all of us.”
