Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday for embracing Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas as a “prince of peace” following their meeting in Paris.

“To bring in such a person, embrace him and say you’re the prince of peace is the opposite of reality—it’s false,” Netanyahu told Australian reporter Erin Molan, of “The Erin Molan Show” podcast, on Thursday.

“You cannot build peace on falsehoods. Sooner or later, these falsehoods crash on the rocks of Middle East reality,” the Israeli premier continued.
