French President Emmanuel Macron today (Wednesday) criticized the remarks of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with i24NEWS in French, as well as the remarks of US President Donald Trump. Macron denied the claim that France has been invaded by Islamist migrants, calling the statements 'unacceptable and completely stupid'. He noted that foreign interference in information led to these statements, and mentioned images created by artificial intelligence. Netanyahu, in the earlier interview, linked Israel's security challenges to the situation in France, criticized Macron's decisions, and warned that 'if we don't eliminate them here, you will receive them in Paris'. He added that French authorities had not prepared sufficiently and 'gave up' in the face of the invasion of radical Islam.
