French President Emmanuel Macron said in a speech alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel has a “legitimate right to defend itself."
In the aftermath of violent riots and looting in France, the country's former intelligence chief, Pierre Brochand, has blamed the disorder on the mass immigration policies of the last 50 years.
"I'm in favor of an international taxation to finance efforts that we have to make to fight poverty and in terms of climate [action]…It doesn’t work when you do it alone, the [financial] flows go elsewhere," Macron said.
