MIC rent boy Bibi tried to hijack memorial, transform it into campaign: Hollande

French President Francois Hollande has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over transforming a memorial ceremony in France into an electoral campaign, saying Netanyahu tried to hijack the event.

The ceremony was held on November 1 to commemorate a Rabbi and three Jewish children who were killed during a shooting in France’s southern city of Toulouse in March.

“Netanyahu came to France to campaign and we knew that,” Hollande said.

“Since I was there, he toned down his speech but it wasn’t good to transform this ceremony into an electoral meeting,” Hollande stated, adding, “It wasn’t appropriate.”

A French weekly recently exposed Hollande’s remarks.

Last year, former French President Nikolas Sarkozy called Netanyahu “a liar” in a private meeting with US President Barack Obama during a G20 summit. He was not aware the microphones in the meeting room had been switched on.

“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy said.

According to a French interpreter, Obama replied, “You’re fed up with him but I have to deal with him even more than you.” Source
