Macron Says "Hate The Debate" On Value Of Jewish Versus Palestinian Lives

"You have to attack and punish the terrorist groups but civilians are not the ones to attack." French President Emmanuel Macron said.

French President Emmanuel Macron said today he "hates the debate" over the value of "Jewish lives" and "Palestinian lives" and called for "civilians in Gaza to be protected first".

"I hate this debate dividing people and saying: 'For me Jewish lives are more important' or 'for me Palestinian lives would be more important'. This is crazy," Macron said on a visit to the Kazakhstan capital.

"All lives matter in this world," he stressed, speaking in English to students.
