Joe Rogan reacts to Brigitte Macron slapping French President: 'That's Wild… What's Going on Behind Closed Doors?'
ALBAWABA - Joe Rogan weighs in on viral Brigitte Macron slap video.
There was a video that went viral that showed French President Emmanuel Macron being slapped by his wife, Brigitte Macron, while they were arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, presenter Joe Rogan revealed his open thoughts on the video. In the video, Brigitte, who is 72 years old, can be seen pushing her husband's face as they leave from their plane. This incident instantly gained considerable notice on the internet following its occurrence.
Rogan expressed his astonishment at the incident, stating, "This morning, someone sent me a video of Brigitte Macron, Macron's wife, face slapping him. That's wild... Imagine what goes on behind closed doors. If someone is bh slapping you on a private jet like what is that? That's a weird relationship."

In addition to that, the host of the podcast talked about the significant age gap that exists between the Macrons. When compared to Emmanuel Macron, who was born on December 21, 1977, Brigitte Macron, who was born on April 13, 1953, is 24 years older than Emmanuel Macron. The beginning of their relationship occurred when Emmanuel was 15 years old and Brigitte was teaching him at a high school in Amiens, France. Brigitte was 39 years old at the time. In 2007, they finally tied the knot, and ever since then, they have been a prominent couple in French politics.
Discussions on the dynamics of their relationship have been triggered as a result of the incident that occurred in Hanoi. While some people view the slap as a fun gesture, others see it as an indication of more serious problems. Those who specialize in body language have examined the video and made observations about the force of the shove and the absence of any shared laughter. These observations imply that the interaction may not have been as lighthearted as some people think it was.
Therefore, neither Emmanuel nor Brigitte Macron has made any public statements regarding the incident as of this moment. The presidency of France has not yet published a statement that is considered to be official about the incident.

UN faces test on Palestine
Ammon News - The stage is set for the upcoming United Nations' International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution. The session, to be held June 17-20, 2025, will be chaired by President Emmanuel Macron of France and Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. France and a number of other countries are understood to be planning formal recognition of the State of Palestine. Netanyahu has announced that should this happen Israel will retaliate by formal annexing the Occupied Palestinian Territories. In a sense, the threats are meaningless, not because Israel could not take measures to sabotage a Palestinian state, but because it's been doing this for several decades, and has accelerated its efforts in recent years. The daily news from Gaza is numbing. After 18 months of devastation, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in March, only to break it and intensify their plans to ethnically cleanse and annex large swathes of territory. Daily, there are reports of Israeli bombings or shootings killing scores of Palestinians at shelters or food distribution sites. The Israelis at first deny each instance, then deny that they had anything to do with it—blaming Hamas or arguing their soldiers 'were forced to shoot in the air' to control unruly crowds. When all else fails, they announce a military review panel is looking into it (coupled with the charge that anyone prejudging public issuance of findings is guilty of harboring anti-Israel bias). There is never accountability and the killings continue. The Netanyahu government's plan for Gaza is taking shape. The now-established Israeli-US 'humanitarian mission' in Gaza will facilitate their 'ethnic cleansing.' First, the Israelis are conducting 'mopping up' operations in the north, evicting as many Palestinians as possible from 80 per cent of Gaza and forcing them into congested areas along the southern border. Then, after denying Palestinians food aid for three months, these Israeli-run food distribution sites are established in the south as the only place to access food. As throngs of desperate Palestinians mass at the sites, the Israelis use live ammunition as crowd control. The entire enterprise is criminal, yet it continues. The situation in the West Bank has gone from bad to worse. Months of raids have killed 1,000 Palestinians and destroyed the homes of 40,000. The Israeli government has authorized the establishment of 22 new settlements, confiscation of more Palestinian lands, and construction of more Jewish-only roads. This furthers the cantonization of the West Bank, isolating Palestinian population centers from one another. Israel is following the 'Drobles Plan,' devised in 1978 by Mattityahu Drobles of the World Zionist Organisation. He envisioned total conquest of the West Bank through establishing Israeli settlement blocs connected by highways and infrastructure, dividing the area and making a contiguous Palestinian state impossible. In the 1970s, Israel's Labor governments rejected this idea, building settlements along the 1967 lines. When Likud came to power, they embraced Drobles and began its implementation without formally acknowledging it. Now they have. Palestinians in East Jerusalem fare no better. They face threats of home and property confiscation and the weaponized archaeology as Israel seizes important historical sites, while ignoring their importance to Palestinian Muslims or Christians. Christians and Muslims seeking to pray on their holy days are violently assaulted or harassed, while Jewish worshippers who violate the previously accepted 'status quo' at the Haram al Sharif are protected by the Israeli military. In the past, a handful of Jewish religious extremists committed such violations, but now thousands, including government officials, annually invade the Haram. And so, the upcoming UN sessions will be a test of wills, pitting the Israeli government, backed by the US, against the rest of the world. We know Israel's playbook. The question is: will other nations find the resolve to confront Israel and take action? More than recognition of Palestinian rights, verbal protests, or resolutions disapproving of Israeli policies is required. Europe can't protest settlements and genocide in Gaza, while continuing to be the largest buyers of Israeli-made weapons. Without applying sanctions (like Spain) or boycotting settlement products (like Ireland), nothing will change. What is at stake in next week's UN sessions is more than recognition of a Palestinian state; it's the survival of the rule of law and human rights covenants and the integrity of the United Nations.
