French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly, urging a recommitment to international laws and the UN system over a 'law of the jungle'. He stated that the international community risks losing its credibility by remaining inactive on Gaza. Macron described the situation there as a 'spectacle that shames us all', noting that despite claims of peace, humanitarian deliveries had not been opened.
In his speech, Macron also called for a moratorium on strikes against civilian and energy targets in the Ukraine-Russia war. He proposed an alternative architecture for artificial intelligence development, advocating for a shared open-source frontier model to avoid countries becoming vassals of great powers. Macron urged countries to stand firm against the 'rhetoric of defeat' and the 'abuse of power by empires'.
Disagreement on Trump's role
Several outlets reported that Macron dismissed US President Donald Trump's claims of having secured peace in Gaza. Al-Monitor, The Lufkin News, The Mighty 790 KFGO, WTVB, and Reuters stated that Macron said not a single humanitarian corridor had been reopened in the enclave despite the proclaimed peace. The Hindu's full report did not mention Donald Trump in relation to Macron's comments on Gaza.

Some claim that peace has been achieved, but this has not opened up humanitarian deliveries. It is a spectacle that shames us all.' Al-Monitor and GV Wire's headlines focused on Macron denouncing Trump's Gaza diplomacy as a 'spectacle of shame'.
