The current MP for Essonne spoke a few moments earlier the international response to the “unilateral” decision of Washington that recognized December 6, 2017 Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  This recognition, which has aroused strong reactions in the Arab world, is not unanimous within the international community.

During his meeting with Benyamin Netanyahu at the Elysee Palace, Emmanuel Macron had for example estimated that the statements of Donald Trump on this issue were “dangerous for peace” and that this US decision seemed “not serve in the short term the security, including Israel and the Israelis themselves. “
