Paris, Tel Aviv, and the Usual Performance France is now in the familiar position of discovering that Middle East politics does not reward moral speeches and diplomatic mood swings. Macron blamed Hezbollah for the killing of the French UNIFIL peacekeeper in Lebanon, while Israeli media are reporting that Israel’s ambassador quietly met Marine Le Pen in Paris. That combination says everything. Publicly, everyone speaks the language of outrage, responsibility, and red lines. Privately, the same capitals keep shopping for useful friends, useful enemies, and useful excuses. Netanyahu reportedly already turned down Macron before, and that insult now looks less like a one-off than a full diplomatic posture. France wants to play referee. Israel keeps acting like the referee is optional. And the opposition in Paris gets its own quiet little upgrade in legitimacy. The result is a neat little circus of principle and convenience. Macron wants justice. Netanyahu wants leverage. Le Pen gets a photo of respectability. And the dead peacekeeper becomes another prop in a geopolitical argument nobody is having in good faith. That is the real scandal. Not just who said what, but how quickly every side turns a funeral into a bargaining chip. #France#Israel#Macron#Netanyahu#LePen#Lebanon 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
