The Prime Minister's Office responded to French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments that Israel was established by a UN resolution, issuing a sharp reminder Tuesday. "Israel was not created by a UN decision but through victory in the War of Independence, achieved by heroic fighters, many of whom were Holocaust survivors — including those from the Vichy regime in France," the statement said. It also noted that the UN has passed hundreds of anti-Israel resolutions over the years, aiming to undermine the Jewish state’s right to exist and defend itself.
