Shame on Macron

Mauritius certainly have a friend in Keir Starmer.
Yes, as did Arabs.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to "ignore United Nations decisions" during a weekly meeting with his ministers [yesterday], according to French media reports, confirmed by a participant in the meeting.
"Mr. Netanyahu must not forget that his country was created by a U.N. decision," he is quoted as saying, referencing the U.N. General Assembly's November 1947 vote that terminated the British mandate of Palestine and split the land into a Jewish and an Arab state. On Monday, France's Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu echoed these warnings from France, telling a journalist that it was a "problem" that Israel does not respect U.N. resolutions. Politico.com
Biden has given Israel 30 days to comply with UN demands for allowing humanitarian aid into Northern Gaza, which leaves Netanyahu praying for a Republican victory in November. If the Democrats remain in power then Israel will see their weapons supply restricted...and even stopped if they do not curb this murderous assault that ignores the reason why they began in the first place. No hostages have been released for several weeks and all talk of negotiation has ceased altogether.

UK agrees to negotiate with Mauritius over handover of Chagos Islands
"The UK has agreed to open negotiations with Mauritius over the future handover of the Chagos Islands, in a major reversal of policy following years of resistance and legal defeats in international courts.
The intended agreement will allow for the return of former inhabitants of the Chagos archipelago who were forcibly displaced by the British government in the 1960s and 1970s. The UK would intend to maintain control of its strategic Indian Ocean military base in Diego Garcia, which it leases to the US.
In a written ministerial statement the foreign secretary, James Cleverly, said the aim was to reach a settlement with Mauritius early next year."

time will tell but I would not be surprised if some back hand deal was done by our corrupt labour leadership -
UK were in a corner and had few options.
Their primary objective was to maintain the Airbase for a limited time into the future.
