  "summary": "French President Emmanuel Macron has criticised US President Donald Trump's claims of securing peace in Gaza, stating that the situation remains dire. In his final address to the United Nations General Assembly, Macron said the inaction on Gaza was a \"spectacle that shames us all\". He questioned the credibility of the international community if it remains inactive on the issue.\n\nMacron urged the world to choose the UN over a \"law of the jungle\" and emphasised the importance of the International Court of Justice. According to Al-Monitor, he noted that despite claims of peace, not a single humanitarian corridor had been reopened in Gaza. Macron also called for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, saying navigation through the waterway should not be used as blackmail.\n\nMacron's comments reflect his concerns about the current state of international affairs. He emphasised the need for the international community to take action and make decisions that allow people to choose their fate freely.",
