[89611] International criticism of the Netanyahu government: The US and France criticize Israeli policy

Diplomatic tension: Criticism from Washington and Paris of the Netanyahu government

In the shadow of regional tension, international criticism of the conduct of the government in Israel is growing. Akharin Khabar, a channel identified with critical positions toward Israeli policy, reports that J.D. Vance, Trump's running mate, attacked Netanyahu's cabinet members and called on them "to stop attacking their only strong ally in the world" according to this report.

Vance emphasized that Trump is the only leader today who supports Israel, but noted that "two-thirds of Israel's defensive weaponry has been provided in the last three months by American taxpayers' money." These remarks come against the backdrop of the perception that the Republican administration is demanding a change in the Israeli approach.

At the same time, Payam-e Iran, a channel presenting a line contrary to Israeli policy, quotes French President Emmanuel Macron as saying that "it is impossible to achieve security through killing and the occupation of neighboring territories." Additionally, the channel claims that Trump has recently changed his approach toward Netanyahu, and that this is a necessary condition for achieving peace in the region.

The reports from both sources point to cumulative pressure on decision-makers in Israel from both potential allies in the US and the European leadership, with each side emphasizing the importance of changing the political and security course.
