Criticism of claimed peace

Macron stated that no humanitarian corridors have opened despite reports of a peace deal. He argued that boasting about peace while people remain trapped lacks credibility. The French leader insisted the world must choose between a civilized society and a law of the jungle.

Support for international court

The president pledged continued support for the International Court of Justice in its role regarding the conflict. He rejected attempts to create a new order of impunity among nations. Macron also urged delegates to uphold the UN rather than allowing force to rule.

Call to reopen waterway

Macron addressed the Strait of Hormuz and stated navigation should not be used as blackmail. He called for the immediate reopening of this critical waterway for global trade. This request came during his remarks before leaving office next May.
