In UN farewell, Macron denounces Trump's Gaza diplomacy as spectacle of shame

  • On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron dismissed President Donald Trump's claims of Gaza peace as a "spectacle that shames us all," noting that not a single humanitarian corridor had reopened despite the proclamation.

  • Preparing for his departure next May, Macron advocated for structural reform of the United Nations Security Council, arguing the body must open to new members to remain effective and representative.
