- Netanyahu said Israel was fighting a war on several fronts against groups backed by arch-foe Iran
JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday slammed French President Emmanuel Macron for calling for a halt to arms supplies to Israel, which is fighting wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
鈥淎s Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel鈥檚 side. Yet, President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,鈥� Netanyahu said in a statement issued by his office.
Netanyahu said Israel was fighting a war on several fronts against groups backed by arch-foe Iran.
鈥淚s Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies? Of course not,鈥� he said. All three groups are backed by Tehran and form part of its 鈥渁xis of resistance鈥� against Israel.
鈥淭his axis of terror stands together. But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel. What a disgrace!鈥�
Netanyahu said Israel would win even without their support.
鈥淏ut their shame will continue long after the war is won,鈥� he said.
鈥淩est assured, Israel will fight until the battle is won 鈥� for our sake and for the sake of peace and security in the world.鈥�
