Macro: Trump must stop fighting in Gaza if he wants to win Nobel for peace

Speaking of French television BFM TV from New York, Macron said only Trump has the power to pressure Israel to end the war.

If there's someone who can do something about it, then he's the president of the United States”, Macron said.

And the reason he can do more than us is because we don't supply weapons that make it possible to develop war in Gaza. We don't supply equipment that makes war possible in Gaza. The United States is”, he added.

Trump gave a long speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, where he rejected Western allies' efforts to support the creation of a Palestinian state, saying such a thing would be a reward for Hamas militants.

Hamas is the Palestinian group declared terrorist organisation by the US and the European Union.

We must stop the war in Gaza immediately. We should hold peace talks without delay”, Trump said.

Speaking Trump's speech, Macro said: “Foh an engaged American president who repeated this morning from the platform: I want peace. I've solved seven conflicts, a president who wants the Nobel Peace Prize. This price is only possible if you stop this conflict”.

Countries like Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan are among those who have nominated Trump for this annual prize because of the peace or ceasefire agreements he has brokered. /Periscope/
