President Macron Halts French Weapons Exports to Israel
-------------------------------------------------------

French President Emmanuel Macron says France is no longer sending arms
to Israel and called on other nations to halt deliveries of weapons.

President Emmanuel Macron: "However, we also try to be consistent. And
when we call for ceasefires - this is the case for Gaza, this was also
the case for Lebanon last week - well, we try not to call for a
ceasefire while continuing to deliver weapons of war. And I think it's
just consistency."

Meanwhile, in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Vice President
Kamala Harris defended U.S. military aid to Israel, which soared to a
record $17.9 billion over the past year.
