“I see a U.S. president who is active, who wants peace… who wants the Nobel Peace Prize. But the Nobel Peace Prize is possible only if you stop this war,” Macron said on Tuesday.
“We must put pressure on the government of Israel so that they… stop this war and obtain the release of the 48 hostages,” he continued. “It’s possible, nothing is pre-ordained.”
During his own address to the U.N. gathering earlier Tuesday, Trump repeated his claim he had “ended seven un-endable wars” and that everyone said he “should get the Nobel Peace Prize.”
The French president’s comments came as European leaders grow increasingly frustrated with Trump’s apparent reluctance to impose sanctions on Russia over its ongoing invasion of Ukraine or put pressure on Israel to end military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Macron in turn has angered the U.S. and Israel with his push to get Western countries to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations annual gathering this week. On Monday, Macron himself recognized the Palestinian state, after the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada made the same move.
Trump slammed this wave in favor of recognition as “a reward for these horrible atrocities, including Oct. 7.”
Trump also said that he was “deeply engaged” in seeking a ceasefire in Gaza, but that the militant group Hamas had “repeatedly rejected reasonable offers to make peace.”
In his interview after Trump’s speech, Macron countered that recognizing a Palestinian state was a way to “isolate” Hamas because it bolsters the Palestinian Authority and encourages it to make reforms.
