Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights the contrast between Macron’s passionate call for multilateralism at the UN and Trump’s earlier speech. He emphasizes that while Macron projects a European 'third vision' between rival powers, Europe’s actions—such as arms sales to Israel and its role in NATO’s expansion—undermine its credibility. Bishara suggests that real leverage lies with Arab and Muslim-majority nations. With their resources and strategic weight, he argues, they could shift US policy on Gaza if they align their interests with Washington’s.
