Former French PM says France should sanction Israel and call out US for Iran war

Описание: In an appearance on live television on Sunday, former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin says France should impose sanctions on Israel and warn the Americans of the consequences of their “illegal” and “illegitimate” war on Iran.

“We should sanction Israel for creating a tragic humanitarian situation in the Middle East today,” he said, adding that “Europeans may have a chance to open their eyes and stop going to the Oval Office begging Donald Trump to grant them this or that. So to say clearly to the United States that their war is illegal, that it is illegitimate, that it is ineffective, and that it is dangerous.”

His comments came as the US and Israel’s war on Iran entered its ninth day. US-Israeli strikes have killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, including 175 schoolgirls and staff killed in a missile strike on a primary school in Minab in the country’s south.
