Up there with Macron telling Netanyahu to remember that Israel only exists because the UN decided that it should. I dont like Macron and its still just talk, but its a step in the right direction.

Neither UNIFIL nor U.N. Headquarters in New York have publicly reiterated that the peacekeepers can shoot back at the Israelis if they are attacked.

This is a nothinburger. Of course they can, in theory. But they won't, and they're not even hinting they might. It's just an article of wishful thinking and what legally is written in their charter. But reality is a different deal.
