French President Emmanuel Macron has criticised United Nations member states for their inaction in Gaza. "What credibility do we have if we continue to remain inactive in the face of Gaza?" Macron asked delegates. "Some boast of a supposed peace, but this peace hasn't reopened humanitarian routes for a single second." He then called out Israel's actions in the West Bank, where he said: "violations are committed every day". "In the name of what? Hamas has never been active in the West Bank," Macron said. "Every day, this undermines the very project of respecting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to exist." He said UN members were committed to Israel's existence and security but Irael's own actions were threatening its security. Read more on the UN General Assembly here: https://bit.ly/3TeY7Es
