French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are in a heated dispute over Israel's founding, with Macron asserting it was established by a UN resolution in 1947. Macron criticized Israeli military actions in Gaza and Lebanon and called for an arms embargo on Israel. Netanyahu countered that Israel's creation stemmed from the 1948 War of Independence, not a UN decision, and demanded the removal of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, citing Hezbollah's use of them as shields.
