️🇫🇷🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 French President Emmanuel Macron on the Middle East:

"The second crisis we are facing is the impact of the war in the Near East and the Middle East - and in particular, its impact on energy prices and the lives of our brothers. Everyone here is well aware of what so many of our citizens and families have gone through in recent weeks, as fuel prices have risen sharply. Prices at the pump have reached historic highs, causing significant purchasing problems, and causing more significant problems. The growing anxiety over gas prices and the energy situation is entirely due to this situation From the wars and the international situation. This is also the purpose of this meeting; in particular, since the war in Ukraine has been going on for four years, it is due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the consequences of the attacks launched by the United States and Israel. As you know, France did not choose this war, nor did it participate in it.
