Emmanuel Macron proposed on Tuesday that an international coalition fighting against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria be widened to include the fight against the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Macron gave no detail on how the U.S.-led coalition of dozens of countries, of which Israel is not a member, could be involved. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Macron stressed that France and Israel shared terrorism as their «common enemy». «France is ready for the international coalition against Daesh in which we are taking part for operations in Iraq and Syria to also fight against Hamas,» he told reporters, referring to Islamic State. Macron, who warned against the risks of a regional conflict, also said the fight against Hamas «must be without mercy but not without rules». Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not directly comment on Macron's proposal but said the fight was a battle between the «axis of evil» and «the free world». «This battle is not merely our own… it's everybody's battle,» he said. The U.S-led coalition fighting Islamic State was formed in September 2014. What began as a major military operation that helped «deliver the military defeat of Daesh in Iraq and Syria», is now focusing on advising and assisting local partners, including with reconnaissance and intelligence, to ensure the group cannot reclaim lost ground, the coalition says on its website. It operates primarily in Iraq. Thirty French citizens were killed by Hamas militants in their attack on southern Israel on Oct.

EU Tax Observatory said on Monday. If levied, the sum would be equivalent to only 2% of the nearly $13 trillion in wealth owned by the 2,700 billionaires globally, the research group hosted at the Paris School of Economics said. Currently billionaires' effective personal tax is often far less than what other taxpayers of more modest means pay because they can park wealth in shell companies sheltering them from income tax, the group said in its 2024 Global Tax Evasion Report. «In our view, this is difficult to justify because it risks to undermine the sustainability of tax systems and the social acceptability of taxation,» the observatory's director Gabriel Zucman told journalists. Billionaires' personal tax in the United States is estimated to be close to 0.5% and as low as zero in otherwise high-tax France, the Observatory estimated. Growing wealth inequality in some countries is fuelling calls for the richest citizens to bear more of the tax burden as public finances struggle to cope with aging populations, huge financing needs for climate transition and legacy COVID debt.

UN General Assembly will meet Thursday to discuss the conflict triggered by the attack by Hamas militants on Israel, the body's president announced in a letter to member states. The Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution concerning the war, but a number of states — including Jordan on behalf of an Arab group of nations, Russia, Syria, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia — formally requested General Assembly President Dennis Francis to schedule the meeting. Last week, the UN Security Council, regularly divided on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, rejected a Russian draft resolution calling for a «humanitarian pause.» Only five of the 15 member states had supported the text, which condemned all violence against civilians and all terrorist acts, but did not name Hamas, an unacceptable omission to the United States, the United Kingdom and France. Washington then vetoed a second resolution put forward by Brazil as the text did not mention Israel's right to defend itself. Twelve out of 15 Council members voted in favor of that resolution, which also condemned the «heinous terrorist attacks by Hamas,» while Russia and the United Kingdom abstained. The United States was the only vote against, but as one of the body's five permanent members its vote counts as a veto. The Security Council will meet to discuss the issue Tuesday ahead of the General Assembly's gathering Thursday at 10:00 am (1400 GMT).

Pernod Ricard said its independent investigation revealed certain employees were involved in engaging with the government and key conspirators linked to Delhi's now-scrapped excise policy. «The company had engaged an independent third party to carry out an internal investigation on the Delhi Excise policy issue which highlighted certain findings including involvement of certain employees in activities relating to formulation and implementation of Delhi Excise Policy 21-22 and engagement with government officials and other third parties/alleged key conspirators/specific distributors/retailers,» Pernod said in its latest annual filings with the Registrar of Companies.

Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas even as some member governments signalled reservations about the idea. Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, said he backed a call by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for a break in the conflict to allow much more humanitarian aid to reach Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip. EU officials also drafted a statement in support of the proposal for an EU summit later this week, although they cautioned the text could still change in the coming days. The moves reflected increasing alarm about the fate of Palestinian civilians after two weeks of Israel bombarding and blockading Gaza in response to the Oct.
