Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
French President Emmanuel Macron has criticized foreign leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, saying they exploit unrest in France for political gain
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“There was foreign manipulation of information which led to unacceptable and even stupid comments by many, including foreign leaders,” Macron told reporters in Doha after a trip to the Gulf.
“We had people who explained that we had been ‘invaded by hordes of migrants and Islamists’ – which is totally false.”
On Tuesday, Netanyahu said in an interview for Israel's i24 channel, external that France, which has Western Europe's largest Muslim minority, had been hit by an "invasion of extremist Islam".
Macron did not specify which AI-generated images he was referring to, nor how he knew the content was false.
