Macron: Israel Should "Cease Immediately" Attacks Unrelated to the Iranian Nuclear Program At around 2 a.m. local time on the 18th, Iran's capital Tehran was attacked again by Israeli airstrikes. On the same morning, Iran launched two rounds of missile strikes against Israel. French President Macron convened a more than two-hour-long defense and security committee meeting in the afternoon on the 18th. According to Agence France-Presse on the 18th, during the defense and security committee meeting held at the Elysée Palace, Macron "expressed concern about the continuous escalation of the situation." French President Macron stated that "Israel's attacks are increasingly targeting goals unrelated to Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile program, and civilian casualties in both Iran and Israel are increasing." Macron said, "It is necessary to urgently end these military operations," and he requested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "take necessary measures" to facilitate French citizens who wish to leave Iran or Israel. French President Macron urged Israel to "cease immediately" attacks unrelated to Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile program. President Macron also requested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide all possible conveniences for citizens wishing to leave Iran and Israel immediately. Macron also urged Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Bray to "take action with close European partners within the next few days to propose a political solution that can end the conflict." Czech and Slovak planes evacuated 181 people from Israel. The two countries have already evacuated 181 citizens through government flights from Israel. On Tuesday morning, a Czech government plane carrying 66 people arrived in Prague. The day before, a Slovak aircraft evacuated 73 people from Amman, Jordan, to Bratislava. Israel closed its airspace after striking Iran on Friday. In addition, Trump once criticized Macron for always being unclear about everything. On the 16th, after leaving Canada, former US President Donald Trump criticized French President Emmanuel Macron on the social media platform Truth Social, misinterpreting his reason for leaving early. Trump tweeted, "The attention-seeking French President Emmanuel Macron falsely claimed that I left Canada to return to Washington to broker a 'ceasefire' between Israel and Iran." That's wrong! He doesn't know why I'm returning to Washington now, but it has nothing to do with a ceasefire, as it is much more important than that." Trump said, "Whether intentional or unintentional, Emmanuel (Macron) is always unclear about everything." Macron responded that his criticism would not trouble him. Previously, Macron stated, "To bring everyone back to the negotiating table, we need the United States." Macron said at the G7 summit held in Canada on Tuesday that "we need the United States to bring everyone back to the negotiating table" to resolve the conflict between Iran and Israel.
