"French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said countries should stop providing weapons to Israel for its war in the Gaza Strip, and he expressed concern that the civilians of Lebanon could face a similar fate as those in Gaza.

“The priority is that we return to a political solution, that we stop delivering weapons to carry out fighting in Gaza,” Macron said on Radio France Internationale. He said France “is not delivering any.”

The United States is by far Israel’s largest supplier of weapons."
