  2. Does that mean France is going to send troops to secure the buffer zone?

    Because, if not, then France is all care no responsibility.

  4. Watch as Trump comes in and declares that Israel has the right to defend its self and create a buffer zone.

  5. Hours before his government lost a no-confidence vote, Macron met with MBS and discussed establishing a new state in the Middle East. He is quite active in foreign policy for someone without a government at home.

  6. France can’t even control Chad. Idk why they think they can call the shots.

  7. Everyone is good at telling Israel what they should do. Israel is good at telling them where to stick it.

  8. I figured the Suez crisis would have taught these former European empires that they don’t get to dictate things anymore.

  9. Fuck macron, he needs to worry about the shitshow at home with his own govt before he opens his beak about the Middle East

  10. France, along with some other European and Arab countries, made the statement just for the sake of saying it, but in reality, there will be no action on this topic.

  11. Nice of France to offer to patrol it for Israel but given the uselessness of UNIFIL, I don’t think third party countries are any good at enforcing peace. They’re like rent-a-cops and are unwilling to actually do anything but be in the way.

  14. At no point a French city will find itself in mortar range from a non-government, non-uniform, decentralized force of unknown intentions if the buffer zone is vacated as per Macron’s ask.

    No skin in the game = nobody cares what France says.

  16. Israel should respond by telling France to get its troops the fuck out of Africa.

  17. stop defending your border and blowing up weapons caches that are going to fall into the hands of rebel terrorist groups ? yeah ok france

  19. Unlike the French, Israeli tanks don’t have a gear for reverse.

  20. I’m okay with what Israel is doing in Syria as long as its temporary and there is no or minimum civilian casualties. But it shouldn’t turn into a permenant occupation.

  21. Why does Israel need a buffer zone for its buffer zone?

  22. At least Macron is being consistent. Israel’s justifications for seizing the Golan are basically the same as Russia’s for trying to seize the Donbas.

  26. >France’s intervention follows condemnations from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia and Turkey

    If those four all agree with you, you’re probably doing something wrong.
