Israël a très brutalement réagi aux déclarations d’Emmanuel Macron à la BBC, critiquant les morts civiles à Gaza. Mais le président français a exprimé un sentiment très répandu, qu’Israel ne peut ignorer. Ma chronique géopolitique du 7/10 de France inter

Quite a photo. Two former French presidents, the heads of both houses of parliament, the head of the constitutional council, one prime minister, five former prime ministers, the mayor of Paris: the French republic marches against antisemitism

🇺🇦 If there is one voice to be listened to in Ukraine, it's that of the Commander-in-Chief, General Zaluzhny.
In The Economist, he doesn't shy away from saying that the war at this stage reminds him of WW1 and that it has reached a stalemate.

Also tested in the same poll as potential broadly centrist successors to Macron
Darmanin 16%: Le Pen 33%
Le Maire 18%: Le Pen 32%
Attal 19%: Le Pen 33%
(Aged 34, Attal will be dead chuffed with this poll)
At this stage polls are partly nonsense, but can shape political dynamics so worth a glance

The next French presidential election isn’t until…2027, but already polls are testing hypothetical candidates. @IfopOpinion today gives Le Pen a big first-round lead in each of four different scenarios. Only @EPhilippe_LH comes close, with 25% to her 31%

The news is bleak, and the editors asked for some light relief. So I looked into a pressing question: is it possible to be left-wing in France and still eat steak?

Some clarification about Macron’s coalition suggestion, from the Elysée : his idea is to draw on the experience of the coalition against IS (not widen it), in ways that do not necessarily imply ground operations but could involve intelligence-sharing, training and other ways of fighting terrorism

France’s polarising politics are reaching a dangerous moment. Mélenchon accused the National Assembly Speaker, Yaël Braun-Pivet, of visiting Israel “to encourage the massacre”. Today she said she felt he had put a “target” on her back. Braun-Pivet’s grandparents fled Nazism to settle in France

It would be good to see François Heisbourg over here. As he points out the number of 🇫🇷citizens killed in the Hamas attack on Israel now stands at 30. This makes it the single most deadly terrorist attack for 🇫🇷 nationals since the Nice attack of 2016 in which 86 people were killed, 43 of them 🇫🇷

People keep asking whether Meloni’s record in office suggests that Le Pen may be less of a threat than some claim. The short answer is no. Le Pen poses a greater threat than Meloni, above all to the EU and the transatlantic alliance
