Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for calling Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas a 'prince of peace' during their recent meeting in Paris. Netanyahu argued that Abbas's actions, including payments to families of those who attack Israelis and the glorification of violence, contradict the image of a peacemaker. He also pointed to Abbas's extended rule and the Palestinian Authority's educational materials as evidence against Macron's characterization. Meanwhile, Macron announced that France will help the Palestinian Authority draft a constitution for a future Palestinian state, and praised Abbas as a consistent partner for peace, a stance that has drawn criticism from Israel and the United States.
