Macron hits back at Trump and Netanyahu over France riots
French President Emmanuel Macron accused foreign leaders, including Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, of making "unacceptable and stupid" comments about recent riots in France, alleging foreign manipulation of information with AI-generated images. He stated they are using France for their election campaigns. Macron, speaking in Doha, Qatar, said there was organized disinformation that misled world leaders. He specifically referenced election campaigns in the Middle East and the US, confirming Trump was among those criticized. Macron denied claims of migrant or Islamist invasions, calling them false. Trump had described France as being invaded by migrants, jihadists, and communists, while Netanyahu claimed France succumbed to extremist Islam. French far-right leader Marine Le Pen rejected Macron's conspiracy theory claims, saying the images showed real conditions after ten years of his presidency.
