His visit was very noticed, because on the one hand he was the first Head of State to travel to Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority to meet his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, after having and encouraged during the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nazi concentration camp in Germany in Aushwitz, at the memorial of Yad Vashem, and delivered a remarkable keynote against anti-Semitism Anti-Zionism, when it is the denial of the existence of Israel as a state, is anti-Semitism” In Jerusalem, President Macron addressed the Jewish diaspora of France, and Head of State Macron expressed France's rejection of the decision of then American President Donald Trump to announce Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, emphasizing his country's and Europe's commitment to the two-state solution, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders and with Jerusalem as the capital of both countries.

Indeed, he summoned the overzealous policemen, in front of this Saint Anne church“I don’t like what you did in front of me” to an Israeli policeman, asking him to leave the church, in the same line as Jacques Chirac. It was precisely in front of this same Sainte Anne church that Jacques Chirac had repelled soldiers exercising the same zeal at the time, and embarrassing the French head of state in his wanderings, who had shouted this question his famous "Do you want me to go back to my plane? became mythical and made France associated with this historically significant phrase in the collective mind of the Arab-Muslim world.
