Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Eli Cohen criticized French President Emmanuel Macron over his calls for Israel to stop its operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"Emmanuel Macron, if you’re not helping, at least don’t interfere. For over a year, you haven’t lifted a finger to help disarm Hezbollah. Now we will do it the hard way. Your tweets only strengthen Hezbollah and harm the people of Lebanon. Let us do the job," Minister Cohen wrote on X.
