BEIRUT (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday it was not his place to pass judgment on the decision by satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to publish a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad, saying France has freedom of expression.
But Macron, speaking on a visit to Lebanon, said it was incumbent on French citizens to show civility and respect for each other, and avoid a “dialogue of hate.”
