Editorial: Le Monde

• The French president and the Israeli prime minister acknowledge their differences during a phone call.
• Macron has clashed with Netanyahu over calling for an end to arms shipments to Israel.
• France's influence in the region has been diminished since the political earthquake of October 7, 2023.
• The United Nations Security Council has been immobilized by Washington on issues related to Israel.
• France, unable to influence alone, would need to form coalitions of good will.
• The scattered recognition of Palestine, such as done by Spain, Ireland and Norway, is considered a setback.

Conclusion: Creative diplomacy has become indispensable in the face of the apparent impotence of the United States, which for a long time has been the pace of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
